Animals Scientists Are Trying To Bring Back

Bringing extinct animals back to life is known as de-extinction.

Animals scientists are trying to bring back. What dangerous animals are scientists trying to bring back. On Friday at a National Geographic sponsored TEDx conference scientists met in Washington DC. And the heath hen a stumpy avian wallflower that lived in the scrubby plains of New England.

Genetic engineering depends on existing DNA samples of the extinct species. In a unique and surprising announcement scientists revealed that they are now planning to bring back to life certain animals which have been extinct for thousands of. The result of their experiments would produce only partial de-extinction however.

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. With the help of liquid nitrogen they then preserved it in hopes of bringing the extinct species back to life. While auroch DNA will still be part of the program its actually being analyzed to determine exactly how it is structured.

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. In a first step toward resurrecting the mammoth researchers from Russia and South Korea are working to bring back another extinct animal the Lena. Ironically human beings pushed these animals to extinction because of human impact but now they want the animals to.

Already there is said to be a massive success that is being recorded in the attempt to bring back this ancestor of the modern cattle. Ironically many of Earths long-lost species including some on this list were driven to extinction by humans. They also discussed the how why.

The overall consensus was that it would be possible and a US start-up called CyberUni agreed to fund the project. Not content to speculate on possibilities a group of geneticists met in New Zealand in 1999 to figure out whether it would be feasible to clone a huia and bring the species back for good. They are also trying to conserve DNA of certain animals so that they can be resurrected.
