What Animals Are Scientists Trying To Bring Back

A friend of mine recently tried to tell me that many years ago some scientist was able to bring dead animals and people back to life.

What animals are scientists trying to bring back. Can the world live the Ice Age again- all four parts that is. To discuss which animals we should bring back from extinction. This article lists 10 extinct animals that scientists can and should bring back from the dead.

By 2050 there are many animals that may go into extinction if nothing is done very soon. Scientists want to bring them back through selective breeding of cattle species that carry some aurochs DNA. Can we expect scientists to bring back the saber toothed tiger.

Why scientists would want to bring this animal back to life is the real question. Thats because they arent cows but rather Aurochs one of the largest herbivores in European history weighing 700 kg 1500 lbs and 1500 kg 3300 lbs. 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.

The aurochs is an ancestor of domestic cattle that lived throughout Europe Asia and North Africa. The overall consensus was that it would be possible and a US start-up called CyberUni agreed to fund the project. Below is a list of ten animals that the scientists are attempting to bring back to life from their conserved DNA in fossilized remains.

By selectively breeding existing cattle that closely resemble the auroch genetically scientists hope to achieve an animal that closely matches Europes original wild auroch. Scientists could bring them back to life by targeting and replacing specific genomic sequences in a closely-related living species. The most popular of these include Rhinos Polar bears Gorillas Cheetahs and Chimpanzees among many other animals.

Heptner and Sludskiy 1972 Auroch. Unfortunately the last auroch died in the forests of Poland in 1627 but scientists are actively working to bring the beast back to life. In a first step toward resurrecting the mammoth researchers from Russia and South Korea are working to bring back another extinct animal the Lena.
