ok all these ppl saying you cant bring animals back from the dead r nuts we've already done it with the ibex and besides the quagga is a sub speecies of the plains zebra that means the gentics 4 there to make a quagga r there so it is possible it would be like if dogs went extinct all we would have to do is re domesticate the wolf we humans r the cause of how thousands of extinction dont u guys think we owe it to the natural world and try to bring so of them back anyways
Once upon a time Quaggas roamed the savanna, galloping around with the other zebras. But the last of his race died in a zoo in 1883 (as stated) Today, scientist have partially recreated the Brown Zebra and and the Quagga now lives in a natural park-in South Africa with a mother, father and siblings...
You can NEVER remake a animal that has been extinct for some time now. It's like bringing something/someone back from the dead.
How ironic, the scientist talks about how we shouldn't give people the wrong impression that we can 'recreate' a species and then at the very museum where they are supposed to educate people about this a child already has the wrong impression and states that ''it's good that the scientist's are recreating this animal''
Regardless, if it was a subspecies of the Plains zebra, it was an indicative part of the fauna of the Karoo. They can bring back the quagga, but there is no genetic material to bring back the bluebok. Endangered species like the white-tailed wildebeest and blesbok were fortunately saved at the last minute. The legacy the Boers was not just apartheid, but imperiling the wildlife of the Karoo.
why dont they just use dna from inside a mosquito of a quagga, then put it in a toad, then let it hatch and you get a quagga but you must only breed females or they will KILL YOU!!!
Saying that breeding these animals results in a real quagga simply because it's a subspecies ignores a TON of genetic differences between the different populations. It's like saying that because, for example, Koreans and Japanese people may look very similar to someone, that person can say that it'll be okay if the Japanese are all wiped out from some disaster because Koreans can reproduce the appearance of a Japanese individual. The kid will NOT be Japanese, though both nationalities are human
@manolodlospavos We haven't mastered DNA cloning yet. The clones normally end up with many problems like hip dysplasia , and die off very quickly, even under specific care
Sadly you can't bring back a species by simply selectively breeding a related species to look like it. Superficially it may look the same, but genetically it isnt. The best way to make sure you can apreciate a species in the future is to make sure you don't lose it in the first place.
Not to mention all the genetic mutations that will occur after continuously breeding related animals. The gene pool will be as small as it can get, not to mention what if the dna you are using to recreate it already has mutations/diseases/etc already in the dna.
@nw5111 Yeah but its not the same. Anything we could have learned about it has been lost for good, breeding the same colouring into another species of zebra will not bring the quagga back, all you will end up with is the illusion of one :/ I can understand the attraction of trying to create an animal that at least gives the impression of something lost, but personally I just think the time and effort would be better spent preventing existing species from suffering the same fate as the quagga :)
breeding back is easier than dna "stuff". even tho wen we have tech to perform successful dna sequencing it'll b quicker, we dont have the tech yet so breeding back is the only possibility, tho long
maybe in the future but right now the techique just isnt refined enough, scientists know very little about cloning and its very very difficult to produce even a single animal, and they generally have health problems or die within the first hours of birth.....so right now the only option isselective breeding slow as it is
@mudkip96 doesnt matter what u already are. u can still be against what ur own species has done to the planet. hypothetically i could also be against the president while still knowing hes human.
Reviving an extinct species is playing God. What they want to do that? We humans, are most dangerous predators on Earth.
There is not going back, the quagga, the dodo, the lovely Yangtze River Dolphin(I said "lovely" because I love dolphins and my dream is to swim with them) and others are extinct because of us.
Protect all animal species, before it's too late!! Don't wait to see how they become extinct to do something.
i HATE humans u cant even recreate the species we already destroyed them! it's not bringin em back its nothing,allthe animals want to do is live, if somone destroyed ur home would u call it fine no if somebody SHOT u would u call it a sport? i didnt think so.
I've heard about this kind of project. It's called "breeding back". They're doing the same thing for aurochs, the extinct wild ancestor of domestic cattle. But that actually makes more sense than breeding back the quagga. With the aurochs, they're selectivly breeding a veriety of domestic cattle, which are technically its decendents. But for the quagga, they're using a different subspecies of zebra. So to me, it makes more sense to try a bring your ancestor than your second cousin.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
why do people think you can bring back exitcted animals YOU CANT ONCE ITS GONE IS GONE FOREVER WHEN DIE GO TO SEE EM YOU CANT BREED A HORES AND A ZEBRA !
They extracted the tissue from an old one and then they are going to use its DNA. It was hunted to extinction by greedy people. It was not a natural die off. So, it deserves to roam the plains once again.
Yeah. You can. Just like you can cross horses and donkeys, (mules Einstein) the offspring are unable to breed though-sterile. You can also cross lions and tigers, same thing, sterile offspring, but it's been done in captivity. (Obviously, lions are pretty rare 'round tiger country these days.) They really outta worry about habitat destruction before they bother bringing species back from extinction anyway. What's the point if they've nowhere to live?
Interresting. The ill fate that fell upon the Quagga almost happened to the American Bison. How unfortunate that man kind is such a destructive species.
Don't forget that the Dodo bird was simply killed off to save crops. They were bad meat and tasted terrible, so they weren't hunt for food. They were hunted for sport and to protect crops of the farmers at the time.
The Quagga is gone forever, killed by civilized humans. These scientists are only selectively breeding the plains zebra for characteristics like those from the Quagga. They are only creating a man-made Quagga mimic and subspecies of the plains zebra, not a Quagga.
the quagga has been conclusively proven to be a sub-species of the plains zebra. think of it in terms of black lab and golden lab. same animal- different color. a black horse and a white horse may be different colors, but they are still horses. a quagga may be different than other plains zebra (of which there are several) in base color and striping, but it's the same animal. the mating of a quagga and another sub species of the plains zebra would result in viable offspring. same animal period!
yeh u r rite coz com on say that someone was trying that they wont get the same breed same gene we want the same quagga i thought it was possible if they can do it but like i said they need to be preffesionly more aleart and a full working but it not that it the gene just coz they got the tissue doesnt mean that it can be a same animals because it isnt possible if they did it the stripes mire com out wrong or it gonna be mutated or there mite not even stripes on it but that wud be a new breed :D
the scientists haven't perfected this method the technologies are still unadvanced enough to do these kinds of clonings even for the tasmanian tiger technology led us to these tragic extinctions development of weapons have changed the bond between animal and people. the people will still be guilty for what happened to these creatures that passed
no they are bringing it back through selective breeding on the plains zebra, breeding zebra with quagga like characteristics until eventually they will produce the quagga characteristics, but they can never reproduce the same genotype only physical characteristics
ok all these ppl saying you cant bring animals back from the dead r nuts we've already done it with the ibex and besides the quagga is a sub speecies of the plains zebra that means the gentics 4 there to make a quagga r there so it is possible it would be like if dogs went extinct all we would have to do is re domesticate the wolf we humans r the cause of how thousands of extinction dont u guys think we owe it to the natural world and try to bring so of them back anyways
