Animals Scientists Are Trying To Bring Back
They are also trying to conserve DNA of certain animals so that they can be resurrected.
Animals scientists are trying to bring back. Genetic engineering depends on existing DNA samples of the extinct species. They are discussing it with The Long Now Foundation at an all-day TEDx De-Extinction conference. Scientists collected DNA and skin samples of the goat shortly before its death.
Generally it helps if there is a species still alive today that is genetically similar to the extinct animal like elephants for woolly mammoths or cows for aurochs.

Many scientists from across the globe have been trying to perfect the morally ambiguous act of cloning andor genetic engineering for certain extinct animals.
In their effort to change back the hand of time scientists are trying to back-breed the animal by mating selected breeds of older cattle that they are sure to have much of the DNA of the aurochs. In America scientists are working on bringing back the passenger pigeon a rosy-breasted bullet of a bird that once flocked in the billions. 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.
Scientists are hoping to bring extinct animals back to life. To discuss which animals we should bring back from extinction. Advances in science specifically biotechnology could enable scientists to bring some of these animals back from extinction and there are a few already on the list.
The resulting organisms would have features of both modern organisms and extinct ones. But the joy didnt last no longer than 7 minutes. The result of their experiments would produce only partial de-extinction however.
Some scientists are taking another approach to this process instead of transferring DNA. Scientists are on the brink of finding ways to bring species back from the dead that is from their long and in some cases brief history of extinction. Instead of hacking the DNA of some old bones and bringing the auroch back in a lab scientists are resorting to some more familiar tactics to bring the extinct animal back.
