End Of Extinction: Cloning The Tasmanian Tiger (Discovery Channel)

[The80sFoxenBPerry]

this is wonderful! I believe Thylacines still exist ! and The animactronic Thylacine they used for this is simply amazing.. each little mecanical move adds to the realism of the robot. I wish it were a real creature though )':

27:33 to 27:43 FAIL! Bontosaurus did not live with t-rex!

[MrCactopuss]

these scientists are so passionate

[oivey1]

That computer generated tasmanian tiger is the derpiest thing I have ever seen. XD

[12from121]

This is insane and Mike Archer is an idiot. Huge waste of money

[sphinx129]

i hope they bring it back so we can put it in a zoo and see it

[blinddaterix]

@sphinx129 rofl

[joesmoe71]

They need to clone the founding fathers, the DNA in our elected officials has been hopelessly degraded

[loopstheloop]

That cameraman is a real bastard- poor old bloke has spent his entire life searching the wilderness for a thylacine, and while he's talking the cameraman is shooting a thylacine listening to their conversation and watching them, but never once mentioned it. Wanker!

[SkullHead4522]

@loopstheloop I really hope your kidding...

[loopstheloop]

@SkullHead4522 May God have mercy on your soul.

Taszmainian devil large carnivor, marsupial.

[FireDropTechnologies]

Can be done, why not use Tasmainian Devils.

[FireDropTechnologies]

Think chimps, VS humans, most of the dna is the same.

That's why you duplicate it from other marsupial forms. thrue gene splicing.

You use the longest compatable Strain available,

Then splice them thrue Bactirial incubation.

[FireDropTechnologies]

More like a fox than dog.

[FireDropTechnologies]

The isue in breeding them is the single two double numbers of thier breeding patterns, They didn't multiply fast as they lived on an island

[FireDropTechnologies]

They where sheep killers the thylician didn't care if it was a sheep or a roo, it was a food soarce. We killed off wolves here in the states as well.

[FireDropTechnologies]

From what I have read they lived in newzeland as well.

[FireDropTechnologies]

Also the early taxidermy used Dog dung so hair folicals on the tanned hides will still have good dna, the prosses for tanning where differant back then.

[FireDropTechnologies]

No, it's bone maro Dumb asses!

[FireDropTechnologies]

And it had nothing to do with fear, it was because they didn't care if it was rair or not they killed sheep. Sheep where needed to colonize.

[FireDropTechnologies]

Just as the human and the chimp share most of the same DNA code I would anticipate that the same applys to marsupial.

[FireDropTechnologies]

The trick to cloneing these?

Would be to take blood samples of each still living form of Marsupial,

then Gene splice the Live DNA to replicate the dead DNA thrue use of

Growth in bactiria.

[FireDropTechnologies]

You know the brittish Royal museim have a Huge number of these Taxidermied?

And so do the Austrians, a hole pack where given to the royal house of Transelvainia.

[TheKarun13]

Long Lives The Thylacine!!! God Bless Everyone For Trying to Clone The Thylacine.

[MegaNatasha13]

4:30 bastard

[uknowispeaksense]

2.00 There is no better way to piss off a Taswegian then to say something like this. The narrator has implied that Tassie is not part of Australia. "Our story starts just south of Australia......" lol Its the Sydney olympics merchandise all over again.

[userwl2850]

take notice at 36.20- 37.16. hmmmm. i,d love to know what,s going on with the human mind here. we see it all the time. interesting.

[interstellarwonder]

0:53 nice skull

[thelordmemnoch]

Sounds grand and humanitarian, but extinction is a fact of life. Can you imagine having every single species that ever lived still alive today? There is a reason they went extinct in the first place. Unless we keep them separate and in zoos, much to the chagrin of PETA, this should only be treated as a triumph of genetic engineering more so than an end to extinction.

[TheNerdyHouse]

@thelordmemnoch extinction is a fact of life but we human speed up the progress way faster so its actually breaking the balance of the nature, if none of us care we could kill all the other animals easily so this is not nature selection anymore.

[SwuaveWEB]

@thelordmemnoch While I agree with you to an extent. This particularly animal was ruthlessly wiped out by us. And if we can bring it back, we should. Let evolution continue on its coarse without our interference. So we can learn and progress technology because of it. It is not like this particular animal went extinct because of some other wild animal killing it off or taking up its niche etc..

[thelordmemnoch]

@SwuaveWEB I suppose I was a bit hasty in my judgment. You are right, however. This extinction wasn't natural at all. I mean I am all for it regardless, just that I don't have such a soft spot in my heart is all.
