After an exploratory dive into the deep sea vents, explorers discovered that the lifeforms, while devastated by the Snowball event, were not wiped out as once though. Therefore, the following species have returned to the Extant list:
Vent Shrubite
Vent Urchip
Blind Foi
Necrotic Arrowhead
Ventrapper
Marfos
Xxeljet
Marocta
Rearing Swarmer
Vent Darkswarmer
Xxeltrapper
Swarmhunter
Martyr
Giant Pyavent
Sucker Foi

A recent Survey of the Bumpy Polar Beach as revealed previously thought extinct species from the Artir Polar Beach. They have apparently merged ecosystems, to the point where the old Artir and Bumpy beaches can no longer be distinguished from each other. As such, the Ecosystem will be renamed the Drake Polar Beach and the following species will be added to the Extant list:
Thornshell
Polar Cellulosebane
Grubnub
Hornsniffer
Polarblades
Lickworm
Polar Ukback
Snowsculptor Janit
Flugwurm
Genteel Tuskent
Twinecoat
Purple Dotter
As well as the following being added to the new environment:
Wind Shrubite
Flugwurm
Pewpa
Crested King Limbless
Shortface Sauceback

It appears that the previous surveys of Drake Tundra we not as extensive as previously thought. It appears that the Burncumferance is not as capable as assumed and the previously barren flora landscape was the result of a prolonged drought in the region keeping the number lower. New surveys have revealed a greater preserved diversity that has recovered considerably. As such, the following species are now no longer considered extinct:
Purple Poison Shrub
Dreidalbulb
Snohawkworm
Warf Gossalizard
Tundra Plyent
Burroskunik
Snow Puff
Xidhorchia
Windbulb
Pink Phlyer
Mini-Flower Ketter
Toxplage
Toxplage Ketter
Tundra Orbibom
Taloned Phlyer
Woollycoat
Polar Spade-Leaf
