Thoughts on this one? reddit.com/gallery/reg8g5

Do undiscovered species, both extant & in the fossil record, actually exist (yet)?
I'm thinking of the 'tree falling in a woods' and the philosophy of George Berkeley, and a strawberry (as elaborated by the 'Thoughty2' Youtube channel). Where if you imagine a strawberry, but don't imagine it's color, flavor, shape, texture, or anything about it... then what's left of a strawberry?. is subjective experience really the only thing that can define objective reality?
