Volunteer researchers rediscover mammal
The place was El Dorado Nature Reserve in the far north of Colombia, South America. The date May 4th, 2011 and the time 9:30 pm. The lucky ones were Lizzie Noble and Simon McKeown who after just one month of volunteering monitoring endangered amphibians, enjoyed the first sighting of the magnificent red-crested tree rat (Santamartamys rufodorsalis) in 113 years.
