Hell yeah. What could go wrong? |

NO. Besides who thinks that they would survive in this period of time. The ecosystem is vastly changed from even 20,000 years ago so I don't think they would flourish. |

Some animals went extinct for very good reasons. Let's keep it that way. |

YES. But only if they taste good! Dan

We should have the ability, you never know when a giant whale probe will arrive.  |

I saw a documentary about this and a Tyrannasaurus almost killed everyone. So yes |

Absolutely. I want to ride a Spinosaurus to work. |

Here's the big question. Do we have the right to do so? |

"Here's the big question. Do we have the right to do so?" Do you know how many people a Kentucky Fried T-Rex thigh will feed? I say we have the moral obligation to do so! Hushpuppies and coleslaw are optional of course. |

If we've made them extinct, Tasmanian tiger and Dodo's etc, why not. But if they've gone extinct naturally, Dinosaurs etc, then probably best to leave well alone. |

Cacique Caribe took the words right out of my mouth. |

Some ice age animals would do quite well in modern times. One reason horses thrived once reintroduced to North America is because the ecosystem had evolved along with their ancestors. |

Some camels supposedly originated in the Americas and traveled against traffic across the Bering Strait to Asia. At least that's what our professors told us back in the day. If they were always meant to go extinct, someone forgot to send out the memo. :) Dan
PS. There are crazies everywhere these days:

Maybe they'd be happy if the Ice Age sheets returned too! :)

There are already projects to start doing it. There's the tazmanian tiger where they're heavily working towards it, the Cincinnati Zoo is involved in one for the passenger pidgeon, and there are others such as plans for the mammoth and others where there are samples pulled out of the ice. Things like the Emuraptor stuff is also being done, but is rather different than bringing animals back. Actual dinosaur DNA isn't something that is currently doable in the first place, much less reconstruction and de-extinction… |

I've always been fascinated with rewilding, although in the end it may not be feasible in the U.S. The basic idea is because plants evolve slower than animals, a lot of the ecology in North America in particular would easily accomodate large animals like elephants, and might even thrive. Don't think we would ever go that far but I would take elephants any day over cattle and welfare-queen ranchers. A couple crazy Russian guys are trying to build a Pleistocene Park in Siberia, hoping that cloned mammoths will one day live there. Again, doubt it will happen, but I admire their dedication and they've done their homework (other than the cloning mammoth part.) link |
