To make matters more interesting, Christmas Island had an incredibly mysterious nature regarding the multiple and individual crab species inhabiting the place. Orchard was not surprised at the possibility of identifying a new species, and the email from Mark excited him.

If Mark had indeed uncovered a de-extinction case, he might have brought an endangered species back to life. A commonly held assumption is that humanity has uncovered every species on the planet, which is certainly untrue.
