Animals Scientists Are Trying To Bring Back

Bringing extinct animals back to life is known as de-extinction.

Animals scientists are trying to bring back. With backbreeding scientists use a living species that is genetically similar to the extinct species and selectively breed it for the traits of the now-extinct species. Not content to speculate on possibilities a group of geneticists met in New Zealand in 1999 to figure out whether it would be feasible to clone a huia and bring the species back for good. They are discussing it with The Long Now Foundation at an all-day TEDx De-Extinction conference.

In a unique and surprising announcement scientists revealed that they are now planning to bring back to life certain animals which have been extinct for thousands of. If playback doesnt begin shortly try restarting your device. Attempts are being made by scientists all over the world to perfect the method of cloning.

They also discussed the how why. Instead of hacking the DNA of some old bones and bringing the auroch back in a lab scientists are resorting to some more familiar tactics to bring the extinct animal back. In America scientists are working on bringing back the passenger pigeon a rosy-breasted bullet of a bird that once flocked in the billions.

To discuss which animals we should bring back from extinction. They are also trying to conserve DNA of certain animals so that they can be resurrected. Ironically many of Earths long-lost species including some on this list were driven to extinction by humans.

Advances in science specifically biotechnology could enable scientists to bring some of these animals back from extinction and there are a few already on the list. Already there is said to be a massive success that is being recorded in the attempt to bring back this ancestor of the modern cattle. Ironically human beings pushed these animals to extinction because of human impact but now they want the animals to.

In preparation for de-extinction The. With the help of liquid nitrogen they then preserved it in hopes of bringing the extinct species back to life. Generally it helps if there is a species still alive today that is genetically similar to the extinct animal like elephants for woolly mammoths or cows for aurochs.
