Do you think animals that are extinct stay extinct? or do you think scientists are able to replicate them in the future? - @BadBotHalo (thanks halo for the question. comment more questions if you want to be featured)

Day 13 - Extinct Animals
To clone extinct animals is a very hard thing to do, it's very rare for scientists to find useable healthy tissue to be able to clone these extinct animals. If we are talking about cloning a wooly mammoth we are talking about the future difficulties to keep these animals alive in a new earth that is not familiar to them. To clone these animals from the beginning is hard since scientists must be able to find the right host for a particular species that is in the family of a species. This isn't even including the several genetic problems that the animal will if the animal was somehow born, it could die in minutes or could develop a problem due to being mixed with the wrong genes. To say the least extinct animals are going to stay extinct since there is no proper way to really bring them back.
i remember watching something (a documentary) about the wooly mammoth. I agree with your statement doe, cause we've changed the habitat so much, and it'll take years on top of years to make any extinct animal adapt to our current nature.
It's true that you can clone animals, but not all animals are preserve well so the potential to is very low. If we were to actually recreate the animal necessarily it does exist again, but it's not the actual animal itself. Its origins are not coming from the actual animal. You will have to program to act like the animal and if its a animal from a few thousand years then we won't have good records on its behaviors. Plus, there are many reasons why most animals are extinct from either being a detriment to our own society like the dinosaurs. There are some that deserve some justice that we humans pretty much killed off, but I don't think they want to be brought back just to be herded and killed for food like most farm animals.
scientists can replicate extinct animals of course.
But they would just die out again or stay in a zoo where they would have to be preserved in order to survive. They are extinct for a reason; they didn’t survive the food chain, and likely won’t be able to survive if they are put in a similar environment to which they existed previously. it’s game over for them ?

but dinosaurs died of meteor, if the meteor didn’t hit, they would still be alive. What if we had dinosaurs as pets that would be so sickscientists can replicate extinct animals of course.

I mean yea but like that would be scary
They would kill us all tho...
we will tame them, and they will help fight in the war, and help the war effort
i knew someone would say this LOL shup ;-; the meteor is an animal and the meteor won ok gg
It's not an actual living/thinking organism like reptiles, amphibians, mammals, insects, fish, etc.
How on earth would we tame dinosaurs tho...
This TED Talk on de-extinction from Stewart Brand is one of the best TED talks I have seen to date. Hooked me on the spot even though I wasn't the most passionate person on the subject! I suggest giving it a watch: https://www.ted.com/talks/stewart_brand_the_dawn_of_de_extinction_are_you_ready?language=en#t-795702
I personally think that no matter how hard scientists try they will never be able to truly recreate animals like the originals. They might be able to alter the current DNA of animals but I don't think it's ever going to happen that they make an exact replica of the real ones.
carrot on stick
That's what I said earlier sort of lol ^
Hopefully we're able to make cat or fox girls though with elon musk sama's funding
This conversation is much too intelligent for me and it is 6am for me but I was told to comment so um give me pet wolly mammoth please.
