How extinct animals could be brought back from the dead Share using Email

From an Australian frog that swallowed its own eggs to woolly mammoths, scientists are getting ever closer to being able to bring long-lost species back from the dead. Millions of years ago thylacines, also known as Tasmanian tigers, were widespread across Australia. About the size of an American coyote, these dog-like creatures with stripes disappeared from the mainland around 2,000 years ago. They remained in Tasmania until the 1920s, when they were slaughtered by European colonisers who saw them as a threat to livestock.

"It was a human-driven extinction – European settlers came to Australia and brutally obliterated this animal," says Andrew Pask, a geneticist at the University of Melbourne.

Pask is leading a team of scientists who, together with "de-extinction" company Colossal Biosciences, aim to recreate the wolf-like creature and bring it back.

I personally think they've already brought some of these animals back to life in some secret government place.
