Scientists have rediscovered the Barbados threadsnake, the world's smallest-known snake, after it had not been seen for nearly two decades. The tiny reptile, which can fit comfortably on a coin, was found under rocks in Barbados during a March 2025 survey. Its absence had led some scientists to fear it had gone extinct. The rediscovery is a significant win for conservationists and highlights the importance of ongoing field research. The find also raises hope for other species thought to be lost.
