London, England (CNN) — Animals that were thought to be extinct for hundreds of years may in fact still be alive, according to a new study by Australian scientists.

The study which appeared in the journal “Proceedings of the Royal Society B” claims that conservationists have been overplaying the number of species driven to extinction.
