Recently, Dominique Halleux, an entity belonging to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), has discovered in Andapa as Andapa (northeast of Madagascar) a white mushroom called Tyto soumagnei. This type of owl was last seen in 1930 and was considered lost forever from this world.

The white owl has been in a small cage for a year and is about to be released in the southern forest of Anjanaharibe. There they expect other specimens. However, in Madagascar no one knew Tyto soumagnei the white owl.
