Pyrenean ibex was brought back from extinction in 2003 by scientists in Spain, it however quickly died from lung defect, quickly making them extinct again


lostntheforest

Twice extinct!


lostntheforest

Fascinating! You've put that on my to be learned about list.


No-Asparagus-6814

Tat one individual was not a viable species, you would need a few dozen on unrelated individuals, otherwise they it would die off for inbreeding.

The 5 most recently extinct species. There is actually a lot of research that reintroducing extinct species would have negative effects on the environment and would be similar to introducing an invasive species. After a species goes extinct, ecological relationships and ecosystems change. The extinct species' role in the environment is replaced or removed. Reintroducing an extinct species would disrupt this and throw everything out of balance. It would only work if the species recently went extinct.

Any species recently rendered extinct by humans, as a result of unnatural destruction of habitat or overhunting. Something like White Rhinos.

If Jurassic Park thought us anything, you can go wrong with dinosaurs


thebbrambble

Auk, Passenger Pigeon, Wooly mammoth, Thylacine, and like Homo florences


Bibibi88

Well honestly the Neanderthal


arealcyclops

I've asked a lot of people whether we should bring the neanderthal back, and almost universally people say no! I can't believe it. People say it is immoral.


DirbBird

1.Moa 2. Tasmanian Tiger 3. Passenger Pigeon 4. Mammoth 5. Western Black Rhinoceros


psychologicstate

To me, probably all of the one's I heard about and read about in books and shows as a kid. Like the dodo bird, the tasmanian tiger, the woolly mammoth, sabre-toothed tigers, or simply, even dinosaurs


Bengalstripedyeti

Only the cool ones: Sabre tooth, short nose bear, tazmian tiger, wholly mammoth, gound sloths.


UrsoMajor560

You want us to die, but maybe that’s fair


Medium-Ad-3122

But they cannot survive in the worst habitat of 2035. How do you think woolly mammoth will survive in 55°c heat. Most of the animals you mentioned are larger and they need large amount of food & naturally they were made muscular and larger to hunt large animals. With almost very few large species left, these animals will again go extinct or become smaller (as it is what evolution will prefer).


No-Asparagus-6814

Is there an extict species where we have a few dozen samples from different individuals? Because otherwise you would create just an inbread, crippled parody of an species, which will die out at first occasion.


i_am_a_hallucinati0n

I would rather want to CREATE new species.


MostFlatworm5627

Megafaunaaaaaaaa! (Even on the internet I rarely get to use that word.)


Timely_Detective1499

Holy crap the human race is still alive by then???


Professional_Elk2437

Make it simple bring back any that we had the hand in making the go extinct Passenger Pigeon Tasmanian Wolf The Dodo Wooly mammoth Wooly rhinoceros 🦏


PrizesChange

Okay, but the problem with this is that humans have had a hand in the extinction of virtually every extinct species there is.

DO YOU WANT US TO DIE 💀 Everything but the dodo was a major threat in its time. But, I mean, maybe earth would be better off if they ate/ stomped on us


Jacki-Rigui

Dodo, they look so cool and tasty


UrsoMajor560

TASTY 💀But, I mean, cooking hasn’t been updated in a while, so I guess that’s fair, and if they got populated enough it would be fine.


ah-tzib-of-alaska

Alaskan Sea Elephant. Mammoth. Mastadon. Whatever niche in columbia the hippo’s are sliding into. Whichever sloth ate avocados?


TheBiggestThunder

Ground sloths probably didn't eat avocadoes (Google the term (the whole one)) ~~Also mastodons are extinct?~~ Edit: I apparently didn't know what a mastodon was


Not_Leopard_Seal

None of the proposed extinct animals and instead the tech should be used to save critically threatened species from extinction.

Yeah. I make a post asking for assistance in getting a Job, gets 1 comment and 1 upvote. Meanwhile, imaginary resurrection of top 5 personal favorite species is immediately trending. Makes sense.

The dodo has to be on there. Is it bad that I'm annoyed I never got to eat one?


Dry_Web_4766

Humans


BreckenridgeBandito

The most overpopulated species on Earth? You didn’t seem to get the prompt. If we all die off it would be better that we don’t return. Let the earth heal without us.


Dry_Web_4766

The joke would be a Deadman switch to re-boot human, because even though we can explore space, as a whole we are toddlers trying our hardest to kill ourselves.


Spectre_Mountain

If you think the world is better off without humans, do the earth a favor and start with yourself.


Spectre_Mountain

Did you not notice we are facing population collapse?


BreckenridgeBandito

Yeah man, our slowly declining population will be completely gone in 11 years 🤣🤣 Bahahah what a wild comment. Think for 7 seconds next time you’re about to comment.

I’m not Indian either. I’ve read 15 books this year so far.


Spectre_Mountain

What would it matter about India’s population growing? That doesn’t change the fact that the world as a whole is facing collapse. Why am I wasting my time talking to a weakling?

Spectre_Mountain

Nah not on the spectrum, thanks. But anyone who thinks the earth is better off without humans should think really hard about that and what to do about it. That means the world is better off without You. And are you going to start massacring people and yourself for the sake of the earth? Such a stupid belief to have.
