Wow, how eerie that must be...holding a perfectly preserved 42,000 year old dead horse.

Makes you wonder if they start bringing these long-extinct creatures back to life, then will the newly created life then act as the surrogate mother for another creature 50,000 years older? Are they creating the perfect incubator hosts to keep going farther back in time?

42,170 years ago.

But its body has been perfectly preserved in near perfect condition in Siberian permafrost,

Wait a cotton-pickin’ minute (no, that’s not racist).

How as a horse hanging out in Siberian permafrost 42,170 years ago? (Are we sure it wasn’t 42,169 years ago?) If it was permafrost then, and it is now, too, then how’d the little foal get up there?

Yakut horses are a hardy breed which can survive temperatures as low as minus 60ºC.

-76F? MINUS 76 F? I don’t think so...

Who knows what else will eventually be found frozen in ice or permafrost.

Bringing back extinct species is a terrible idea.

Wait... I’ve seen this movie before and it didn’t end well.

I hope they don’t go the obvious side step and try to clone the ancient bacteria and virus’s on the corpse just to see “if they can”.

Wow. I would have though that the air would freeze their lungs at those temperatures.

Not to mention the blood freezing in their arteries and veins.

What a wonderful world, indeed.

I wonder if they carry any long dead diseases.

I think people often believe that it’s a dangerous meddling; I often do. But I got to thinking just now that the technology could be important if something really catastrophic were to happen to a crucial species - like bees, for instance...

Because they're extinct for a reason. We don't know what kinds of behaviors to expect from ancient species. We seem eager to bring them back for the sheer novelty of it - which isn't a sufficient reason.
