The De Winton's golden mole was last spotted in 1936. But with the help of a mole-sniffing dog and new environmental DNA analysis, researchers are taking it off the most wanted lost species list.

De Winton's golden mole was thought to be extinct for over 80 years. A new study used DNA analysis to track down the tiny mammal.
