    Scientists have captured video of a Sumatran rhino, once thought to have been wiped out, in the Kalimantan forest in Indonesia. In footage captured by the World Wildlife Fund, the animal can be seen bathing in a puddle and walking among trees.

    golden shower spotted @ 25 seconds...

    There is also video of 1950s-60s wooly mammoth. From what I can tell it looks legit.

    Are we sure that's not just Ace Ventura in a rhino suit?

    Also, life, uh, finds a way.

    AFAIK, the Sumatran Rhino is critically endangered and perhaps extinct in the wild, but never was totally extinct. Nevertheless, this is promising stuff as their population in the wild has decreased dramatically.

    Thanks for sharing!
