Outdoors/Rural/wildlife/hunting/hiking/backpacking/National Parks/animals list please FR mail me to be on or off . And ping me is you see articles of interest.
Maybe if Oz didnt go full jackboot more people in the world would take interest in stories like this.
There are apparently occasional hints that there might still be a tiny population of these things lurking out in the wilderness.
I’d love to see the study detailing how this creature will fit back into the ecosystem.
(”It’s not all Jurassic Park”)
Newman!!
“Just last year, one group claimed to have spotted the “Tassie tiger” padding through Australia’s forests. The claims were never verified.”
There’s a very good possibility that the natural resources people there are aware of live Thylacines but are keeping it on the down-low to protect them.
Not,extinct- several blurry photos and shaky videos waynoff in the distance as proof ti still exists lol
We have the technology. We can rebuild him. We can make him better than he was...... The 6 million dollar marsupial!
Can we do the same with Calvin Coolidge? LOL
Is that the guy who always bothered Bugs Bunny?
So you bring back an extinct apex predator and release it into the wild. What could go wrong?
Do they plan to bring back the Neanderthal and Cro Magnon?
Researcher. Lab tech, did you give the right RNA sequences to the subject?
Lab tech:. I thought you said DNA!
And that’s how Godzilla was born.

Bring back the velociraptors!! They look cool.
I remember Dolly the sheep disastor.
It would be great to have the technology not just to undo some of the damage humans have done, but also to preserve endangered species. In the case of the Woolly Mammoth, it might be easier given how closely Asian Elephants are related to them. In that case we could take Asian elephant embryos and splice in a few genes here and there rather than having to build the code almost from scratch.
Other than for a laugh, what’s the argument for bringing back evolutionary dead ends? Are we trying to save branches of human genealogy that didn’t produce heirs? Should we? Who will teach this creature how to be what it is? We’re not playing God but we are creating Adam and Eve for species?
Resurrecting the extinct Tasmanian Tiger... to do what? Exist in a zoo for the enjoyment of school children? To release into the wild? If it’s that, then they’d better consider why the animal went extinct in the first place?
It’s the same resistance to intellectual thought that leads to the reintroduction of wolves in North American ranges near where livestock are reared.
Can you imagine how the guys who own those high-fence hunting preserves in Texas must be champing at the bit for scientists to resurrect the woolly mammoth so they can sell a mammoth hunting experience? And how hunters like Ted Nugent and Joe Rogan must be champing at the bit to be able to kill a mammoth and have it stuffed and mounted and stand it in the foyer of their house?
And won’t the bunny huggers be apoplectic??!
