Lost and found

Eric Wilkinson was 22 years old and the assistant of the curator of fossils at the Melbourne Museum on the 3rd of April 1961. He was on his first field trip when he made an amazing rediscovery: Leadbeater's possum. The possum had been thought to be extinct for 50 years, and now there was photographic evidence that they still existed. Definintely a fantastic descovery.
