What Animals Are Scientists Trying To Bring Back

By 2050 there are many animals that may go into extinction if nothing is done very soon.

What animals are scientists trying to bring back. 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. Top 10 Animals Scientists Want to Bring Back From Extinction. On Friday at a National Geographic-sponsored TEDx conference scientists met in Washington DC.

To this end European teams have been selectively breeding cattle since 2009. By selectively breeding existing cattle that closely resemble the auroch genetically scientists hope to achieve an animal that closely matches Europes original wild auroch. 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.

Unfortunately the last auroch died in the forests of Poland in 1627 but scientists are actively working to bring the beast back to life. Can we expect scientists to bring back the saber toothed tiger. In a first step toward resurrecting the mammoth researchers from Russia and South Korea are working to bring back another extinct animal the Lena.

This article lists 10 extinct animals that scientists can and should bring back from the dead. Heptner and Sludskiy 1972 Auroch. To discuss which animals we should bring back from extinction.

In America scientists are working on bringing back the passenger pigeon a rosy-breasted bullet of a bird that once flocked in the billions. Why scientists would want to bring this animal back to life is the real question. Below is a list of ten animals that the scientists are attempting to bring back to life from their conserved DNA in fossilized remains.

Genetic engineering depends on existing DNA samples of the extinct species. The overall consensus was that it would be possible and a US start-up called CyberUni agreed to fund the project. Scientists could bring them back to life by targeting and replacing specific genomic sequences in a closely-related living species.
