Which begs the question, does it taste good?

It's not the first time It's been sighted in 140 years. It's the first time It's been sighted by someone who knew what it was looking at.

It is a shame they couldn't have sighted it in GIF. Then we would have been able to see it walk around and stuff!

Spotted, and promptly shot and cooked. It was delicious.

Don't see the big deal, it's just an image format.

Maybe that’s the real conspiracy. What % of people know what they look like and would have been like “by golly, I believe that’s the long extinct black naped pheasant-pigeon over there”? Thinking it’s probably a low percentage, at least for the last 140 years.

While the photographs may have been saved in a png format, the bird was sighted in Papa New Guinea.

Good. They were really obnoxious going on and on about .TIFF

This is wonderful, instead of on the verge of extinction.

If you want to smile lookup the video of the photo being captured and shown. An excitement that isn’t often seen.

Thank you, I fucking hate when people expect everyone to know a non-universal acronym. Especially when you can't just google it, googling PNG does absolutely nothing.

PNG is such a difficult place to traverse that I’m not surprised that this thing could go missing for a century.

Just because you converted it from a jpg doesn't mean it's news worthy

I dunno, did you see the earlier video of the scientists when they first realized they caught its image? I believe people were really looking hard for this thing. Anybody less lazy who might provide a link?

> Better image than JPEG

Only for straight clean lines like digital graphics. Not for gradients like natural photography, JPG is still superior there.

Things like this is why I can see some people hope other creatures (like the tasmanian tiger) are also just hiding in small populations

Jpeg is still old as hell. It needs to die! They have come out with numerous replacements for it but none of them seem to catch on... It seems that with all digital consumer technology, you better get it right the first time because nobody will give a shit after (only hope is somebody like apple Google etc start using).

Thylacine and Ivory Billed Woodpeckers are next hopefully. Thylacine are rumored to be hiding out in PNG.
