Scientists have rediscovered the Barbados threadsnake, the world's smallest-known snake, after it had not been seen for nearly two decades and was feared extinct.
The tiny reptile, which can fit comfortably on a coin, was found under rocks in Barbados during a March 2025 survey. Its elusive nature and minuscule size made it extremely difficult to locate, leading to concerns about its possible extinction. The rediscovery is a significant win for conservationists and highlights the importance of ongoing field research.
This finding brings hope for other species thought to be lost.
