  • It IS happening. In less than six years we WILL have reproduced a Woolly Mammoth - if everything goes as planned. We recently brought the "blood" back intact... in... fact.

    It's not letting me post these links properly! :(

    Check Science Daily and Outside The Beltway with a Google search.

  • @JayJayAbels Thanks for that! YT doesn't let you put web addresses in comments, not even YT ones!

  • There was a story that came out in January about a Japanese scientist (Professor Akira Iritani of Kyoto University ) who was planning to use a cloning technique developed in 2008 by the Riken Center for Developmental Biology's Dr. Teruhiko Wakayama.

  • @psychobackpacker Thanks for the info!

  • Even if this is biologically possible it won't be politicly possible =/

  • @unassumption I'd be surprised if it ever happened too, as a species we face bigger problems which are going to require more of our efforts and attention.

    I think there is a point defending evolution, reason and science from attacks from the ignorant...

    You young folks probably can't remember a time when there was no internet and nobody had mobile phones!

  • @joesmoe71 passenger pigeons will also be cool... it's a shame that it has to be extinct in the first place...

  • @Luigi32826 dodo bird would be cool...

  • @brendan100ify the neanderthals would be my choice....

  • neh. I would like to clone these animals .

    wooly mammoth. yeah.

    tasmanian tiger

    the neanderthals

    and the giant arthropods

    and of course the sabretooth

    also T- rex

  • the mammoths would probaly kill alot of humans and other animals but it would be cool to see one i always wanted to see a dodo but if you can clone extinct animals people will have to stop killing animals and taking care of them

  • Skyrim has all those extinct animals. 

  • ..Bringing back Extinct Animals > Giving Birth to & Saving more psychotic Humans.

  • What extinct animals are there that there is non-fossilized remains of that open the possibility of future cloning if technology improves? Here's the ones I can think of:

    - Mammoth, of course

    - Tasmanian Tiger

    - Aurochs

    - Passenger Pigeons

    - Dodo birds (I think I've heard desiccated partial remains have been found)

    From the same frozen region as the Mammoth

    - Giant Elk

    - Woolly Rhino

    To the best of my knowledge no Sabretooth Tiger flesh of any kind has ever been found, just bones.

  • They already did this to the Aurochs.

  • Bring back the THYLACINE
