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.

The rediscovery brings hope for the species and highlights the importance of ongoing conservation efforts. This finding underscores the value of persistent fieldwork in uncovering lost or presumed extinct species.
