De Winton’s Golden Mole—one of the world’s most wanted species by @rewild’s Search for Lost Species—has been rediscovered.

After being lost to science for 87 years, an expedition team with @the_ewt rediscovered the small blind mole on a beach in Port Nolloth, South Africa. De Winton’s Golden Moles burrow beneath the sand and rarely leave tracks that are visible from the surface.

The Endangered Wildlife Trust used a specially trained scent-detection dog to safely find golden moles. The team also collected more than 100 soil samples from beaches to test for environmental DNA shed by De Winton’s Golden Moles.

After searching for more than two years, the team found multiple populations of De Winton’s Golden Mole. The Endangered Wildlife Trust is now learning more about this species and working to protect it in the wild. #SearchforLostSpecies #LostSpecies
