Extinct animals that could come back. This is soo sad i what to save all animals. Do you know that scientists are almost ready to bring back some species that have been long gone. Either domestic chickens or prairie chickens could be surrogates for the extinct species.

Scientists hope to bring them back thanks to the Siberian tiger that is almost identical. When Cristobal Colon sailed past Bermuda in 1492 an estimated half-million pairs of these birds nested there. Smilodon 10000 BC The Smilodon saber-toothed cat lived in North and South America at the end of the last glacial period 115000 11700 years ago although it had existed as a distinct species for about 25 million years.

There are some extinct species such as the woolly mammoth shown above that may be brought back to life if scientists can overcome some practical hurdles and thorny ethical questions. The Pyrenean ibex or bucardo recently became the first extinct animal to ever become un-extinct at least for seven minutes. The Quagga Project started in 1987 is an attempt to bring them back from extinction.

One million species of animal and plant could disappear forever according to the UN. In early 2000 a tree landed on the last living Pyrenean ibex turning that proud creature into just one more statistic on an ever-growing list of extinct species. Scientists have found auroch genes in modern cattle breeds and theyre breeding those cattle in hopes of creating a new species called a Tauros that would be similar to their extinct.

Threatened or damaged ecosystems could be restored with the help of certain now-extinct species. If people pushed plant and animals species into extinction perhaps we owe it to these species to try and bring them back. But these techniques can only be applied to species that have gone extinct very recently in the last decade or so.

That goes for all these other animals were bringing back too. Technically its already been done. Then in August 2020 a team of researchers and academics reported that these tiny creatures were alive and well.
