For a company called Colossal, bringing back the wolf-sized marsupial is one step in a larger, mammoth plan.

species that humanity has wiped off the face of the earth, the thylacine is possibly the most tragic loss. A wolf-sized marsupial sometimes called the Tasmanian tiger, the thylacine met its end in part because the government paid its citizens a bounty for every animal killed. That end came recently enough that we have photographs and film clips of the last thylacines ending their days in zoos.

To find out more about the company's plans for the thylacine, we had a conversation with Colossal's founder, Ben Lamm, and Andrew Pask, the head of the lab he's partnering with.To an extent, Colossal is a way of organizing and funding the ideas of Lamm's partner, George Church. Church has been talking about de-extincting the mammoth for a number of years, spurred in part by developments in gene editing.

arstechnica How about saving the ones that are nearing extinction first. Tigers and giraffes are cool too.

arstechnica So COVID was not enough. Now everyone wants a T-rex… 🙄

arstechnica Hollywood: 'Here are six movies, of miscellaneous quality, about how cloning extinct animals is a really bad idea and you shouldn't do it.' Scientists: 'We should clone extinct animals!'

I'm on the fence about whether or not it is a wise idea to resurrect animals that have gone extinct. We are killing wild hogs, nutria rats, coyotes, wolves, etc., due to overpopulation of those species. If we're killing certain species, why resurrect another to take its place?
