‘De-Extinction’ Company Will Try to Bring Back the Dodo

played a role in mammoth extinction as well, but the dodo and the thylacine are classic examples of our ability to wipe out species at extraordinary speed.

Following European colonization of Tasmania, settlers cast the thylacine as a threat to sheep flocks , and the Tasmanian government eventually put a bounty on the marsupial’s head. Some expertsColossal also said it is creating an Avian Genomics Group, which will oversee the efforts to resurrect the stocky dodoweighed as much as 50 pounds and had a distinctive curved beak. Perhaps due to the lack of natural predators on Mauritius, the dodo evolved to be flightless.

De-extinction is something of a misnomer, as this process, if successful, will yield science’s best analogue for an extinct creature, not the creature itself as it existed in the past. De-extinction methods generally rely on using a living creature’s genetics in the resurrection process. That means any 21st-century mammoth will have at least some modern elephant DNA imbued in it, and any nascent thylacine would be produced from the genome and egg of a related species.

Why

Next on the company's agenda: the Velociraptor & the Megalodon.

To paraphrase Yoda: There is no try: Dodo, or Dodo Not! 🤣
