extinct animals

Note: We still don't have a northern white rhinoceros clone; I don't think an aurochs will happen soon. Through breeding-back with less derived breeds of cattle and eventually genetic engineering, a joint effort between rewilding NGOs and several universities have produced the first...

Firsty share the potential thylacine photos that you have,some of the would probably be stills from the films. Also sorry if this post is the wrong forum Im still learning. So for people that don't know there are 117 Thylacine photos and 13 Thylacine films(2 of them are considered lost). 106 of...

So I thought about talking about some thylacine myths,myths that are rather historical myths.With this I mean myths that are historically false but have been pass as a fact. One of these myths is the cause of death of the last captive thylacine aka Benjamin. The most common reason of his death...

Sorry for the clickbait title, I'm not talking about claimed "sightings" or looking for proof that the animal is somehow not extinct. I'm asking about seeing the animal alive in zoos in the 1930s. Obviously there were people who were alive in the 1930s and saw a thylacine in a zoo, either...

Dunia Air Tawar is so far the only place that currently houses a species that could actually be chitala lopis, I also saw this big fish during my visit to this place on January 3th this year. This species has recently been announced to be extinct, but there is some that might survived in...

A brand new prehistoric zoo! Species list in the description.

Remake of the Prehistoric Safari Park I made 14 years ago, with a safer monorail safari replacing the car-based drive-through. Species list in the coments below. 2006 original: https://www.zoochat.com/community/media/eon-park-2006-version.499161/

My first Prehistoric Safari Park made back in 2006; regardless to say, a car ride through a tyrannosaurus rex enclosure is in dire need of a remake. Species list in the coments below. Remake: https://www.zoochat.com/community/media/eon-park-2020-version.499162/

I found a fascinating information about Carolina Parakeet in captivity, and not only: apparently a free-living breeding group existed in Germany for over 40 years: "Carolina Parakeet Conuropsis carolinensis † At the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century, the Carolina parakeet was...

Interesting article about de extinction: How to decide which extinct species we should resurrect

Imagine this situation: A genetics laboratory somewhere in the near future finds a way to bring extinct human ancestors back to life. The scientists can create as many specimen as they will, the revived species will be healthy, we know exactly what to feed them etc.. The question is: When...

What do you all think about when it comes to the topic of animal cloning? Do you think it's worth the money and time to further the research on it? Do you think it should be done only on Extinct animals, only endangered animals, or both? Do you think cloned animals could be a valuable resource...
