Huge herds of herbivores - likened by one researcher to those of the Serengeti - discovered in southern Sudan, an area racked with almost three decades of civil war and the inevitable bushmeat hunting. And it’s virtually all open country. It’s not like these animals were hidden or anything.

Large and unexpected numbers of megafauna in logged-over Sumatran forests all but given up for dead.

And (we talked about it here although some time back) a new species of leopard - obviously different, at a glance, from the species of which it was considered to be a part for over a century.

And they say the sasquatch can’t exist because it has nowhere to hide. North America is a lot bigger than the Sudan - definitely more so than Sumatra - and much less densely populated.

Not to mention which, its people spend much less time outside than people in those other places.
