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. Scientists could bring them back to life by targeting and replacing specific genomic sequences in a closely-related living species. Does he have his story straight or is he mixing fact and.

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 the world live the Ice Age again- all four parts that is.

In a first step toward resurrecting the mammoth researchers from Russia and South Korea are working to bring back another extinct animal the Lena. Heptner and Sludskiy 1972 Auroch. Can we expect scientists to bring back the saber toothed tiger.

The most popular of these include Rhinos Polar bears Gorillas Cheetahs and Chimpanzees among many other animals. The overall consensus was that it would be possible and a US start-up called CyberUni agreed to fund the project. Scientists want to bring them back through selective breeding of cattle species that carry some aurochs DNA.

The aurochs is an ancestor of domestic cattle that lived throughout Europe Asia and North Africa. Today scientists have developed several new techniques where they can successfully use methods such as cloning DNA splicing etc to essentially resurrect these animals from the grave. On Friday at a National Geographic-sponsored TEDx conference scientists met in Washington DC.

To discuss which animals we should bring back from extinction. By selectively breeding existing cattle that closely resemble the auroch genetically scientists hope to achieve an animal that closely matches Europes original wild auroch. 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.
