Want to see one? Look behind an Aussie conservative if you can find one.

The late Dr. Michael Crichton was a visionary genius.

Cool. Now do wooly mammoths and saber-toothed tigers. The 21st century should finally start living up to the billing.

I wonder if it would be easier to “resurrect” a marsupial than a mammal, since the “surrogate mother” won’t have to carry them fully to term?

Also, which species would they pick for a surrogate? With mammoths, elephants are the obvious choice. For a Tasmanian tiger, would they use a Tasmanian devil, or a wombat, or what?

I’d love to live to see this. If the technology is ever developed to bring back extinct species zoos will become very interesting.

Would it be able to survive in the current ecosystem in Tasmania? Things have changed in the century since Tasmanian Tigers abounded.

I wonder what marsupial they'll use for the intrauterine phase of thylacine de-extinction.

If they would send us a zygote, we could implant it in a possum.

Golly, Gee! What could possible go wrong? Oh! It’s all right, just believe the science or scientists.

IIRC the problem that drove them extinct was a virus that left them with tumors on their faces that eventually left them unable to eat or drink.

This would mean that bringing the species back would mean you would either have to cure the virus or make them naturally resistant.

It is something like the problem with the American Chestnut. They have solved the fungus problem but can not get permission to plant the tree outside of laboratory conditions because it is genetically modified.

The naturally resistant trees do not pass their resistance along to their offspring so planting from surviving trees does not work.
