Scientists have met to discuss the possibility of bringing back 24 animals back from extinction.

This month’s National Geographic explains how de-extinction works - by taking old DNA samples and reassembling them into a full genome.

This is then injected into embryonic cells which have had their own DNA taken out, and a suitable living surrogate is found to give birth.

Are you for or against bringing extinct animals back? If so which animal do you want to see again?

I think its a bad move.

bring back the thylacine

and stop killing dingoes X-(

oh, I know, I'd like to see a tortoise brought back. Not sure what breed it is but there is only one left in the world and he must be so lonely:-(

I don't want to hurt your brain Flake but Why?

I wouldn't mind seeing the Dodo bird again. Apparently they're quite tasty:-D

They're gone for a reason.

The thylacine [Tasmanian tiger) was hunted to extinction by Man as was the Dodo. They didn't die out naturally through climate change that they couldn't cope with thereby making way for a more successful species to take their place or by disease or some inherent weakness in their genes. It was Mans' interference so I have no problem with scientists having a go at bringing them back.

That's, that's.......................a surprisingly brilliant answer.:|

Pimpy, do you mean Lonesome George the Galapagos tortoise that died a little while back?. He was found in some undergrowth on one of the Galapagos islands in the 1970's and brought to some sanctuary where I can't remember. He was the only one left of hundreds of tortoises that lived on that particular island. I think he was about 80 years old when he died.

I tell it how it is, I don't copy and paste, I dont google that much, I just give an intelligent quick logical answer.

Oh poor George, I didn't know he'd died, and yes that's the tortoise I was thinking of. 😞
