An example of a Lazarus taxon is the coelacanth, a type of fish thought to have gone extinct over 66 million years ago until it was discovered alive in 1938. This finding challenged the assumption of its extinction and caused scientists to reevaluate their understanding of the species' evolutionary history.

What is the difference between a living fossil and a lazarus taxon?
A lazarus taxon is an animal that was thought to be extinct at one point, but for a few months, years, or even centuries, the animal is found again. One example is the Coelocanth. It was thought to become extinct millions of years ago, but one specimen in Asia (I think) was found in the 30s. It was later found in Madagascar. It is endangered. They reach up from 60 centimeters to 1 meter. They mainly eat fish, squid, octopuses and even small sharks. They are preyed on by seals, sea lions, large sharks and orcas. Another one is the peccary. Believe it or not, this is a lazarus taxon, it was thought to be extinct in the pleistocene, but it was found again in the recent times. They are about one meter. They mainly eat vegetation, but they also eat rodents, lizards, snakes and even small birds. They are eaten by jaguars, bush dogs, coyotes and anacondas. The collared one is least concern, but the chaocoan one is endangered. The Takhae. The takhae is a small bird from New Zealand. It was actually thought to be extinct quite recently, at the same time as the moa, at about 1500. But, it was found again in the 40s. They eat vegetation. But also eat insects and worms. They have no natural predator, but they are eaten by introduced species like stoats.
