In Oceania, Papua New Guinea, a photographer accidentally took a picture of a ghost bird hawk, the last official sighting of which was made more than 50 years ago.
Photo taken by Tom Vierus said the World Wildlife Fund WWF in a statement that at first he didn’t even realize he had captured a rarely seen species.
The species classified as endangered lives only on one of the islands of Papua New Guinea. The International Union for Conservation of Nature estimates that 2,500-10,000 adult phantom hawks live in the wild.
Very little is known about the bird because it is rarely seen.
