Monotremes were brought to the attention of the scientific community back in the late 18th century; although of course the Aborigines knew about them for thousands of years prior to that. You don't much much more different than that!

Living coelecanths were discovered in the early 20th century.

And look at the discovery of the 'Hobbits', which are thought to have survived until 20,000 or so years ago.

Complete biological outliers are being discovered all the time.
