What animals are scientists trying to bring back. Why scientists would want to bring this animal back to life is the real question. What dangerous animals are scientists trying to bring back. By 2050 there are many animals that may go into extinction if nothing is done very soon.

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. The aurochs is an ancestor of domestic cattle that lived throughout Europe Asia and North Africa. Can we expect scientists to bring back the saber toothed tiger.

Below is a list of ten animals that the scientists are attempting to bring back to life from their conserved DNA in fossilized remains. 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.

Scientists want to bring them back through selective breeding of cattle species that carry some aurochs DNA. If playback doesnt begin shortly try restarting your device. This article lists 10 extinct animals that scientists can and should bring back from the dead.

For example the extinct aurochs the ancestor of all modern cattle are being brought back through the Tauros Programme. Scientists could bring them back to life by targeting and replacing specific genomic sequences in a closely-related living species. Heptner and Sludskiy 1972 Auroch.
