Cloning extinct animals 2020. Once a sample of an extinct animals DNA has been found the next step in the resurrection process is to find an existing animal that has some similarities to the extinct species. According to Market Watch it takes 85000 to clone a horse 50000 to clone a dog and 35000 to clone a cat. Animal cloning creates desirable traits in each species.
