Animals previously thought to be extinct were found alive in the"lost city" of La Ciudad Blanca, deep within a rainforest in Honduras.Deep in the heart of the Mosquitia rainforest in Honduras lies La Ciudad Blanca, the fabled White City said to have once been an ancient metropolis. Named for its large pillars of white stone, the existence of Ciudad Blanca was but a whisper until its rediscovery in 2012 and subsequent exploration three years later.
Mosquitia supports a high level of biodiversity and is home to many species that are otherwise uncommon or rare in other parts of their endemic range. To further understand how to protect this pristine region, researchers with Conservation International conducted their survey in a specific region of Mosquitia known as Ciudad del Jaguar, or City of the Jaguar, according to a news release published at the time.
Spending most of its life in the tree canopy, the false tree coral snake is a hard-to-find species because of its dependence on shrinking old-growth forests.Lastly, researchers rediscovered the pale-faced bat , which was last documented in 1942.Trond Larsen/Conservation International
