So much that we will never know until we finally found it, and sometimes the time is probably almost too late. We often realize how we missed them until we couldn’t see them flying, jumping, dwelling or swimming alive in their natural habitat.

Today I found these three photos of the rarest animal species from the National Geographic site, and what the most amazingly is two of them are found alive in Indonesia, my country. Just like my post couple days ago about Pesut Mahakam, these two endangered species in Indonesia will also need our attention, immediately.

The rare recurve-billed bushbird, the extremely rare Perija Parakeet, of which only 30 to 50 individuals likely survive recently rediscovered by scientists in Colombia after a 40-year absence, sports a curving beak that gives the illusion of an enigmatic smile.

You might call it a cry for help or perhaps a voice from the past. But for scientists who recently recorded the shriek-like call of one of the world’s rarest birds, the Sumatran ground cuckoo, a large, colorful bird so scarce that it was thought to be extinct until just ten years ago.

The golden-mantled tree kangaroo is the rarest arboreal, jungle-dwelling kangaroo in the world, the researchers say. This was the first time the mammal was found in Foja Mountains of Indonesia, making it only the second site in the world where the species is known to exist.
