- A mysterious bird of increasingly mysterious origins, the dodo bird ruled the roost on its native island of Mauritius-and nowhere else-until meeting an untimely demise. Because in the late 17th century, man brought an abrupt end to the dodo species. Today, Colossal is committed to bringing it back. Rediscover one of the most popular extinct species in the world and learn more about why we’ve chosen the dodo bird to be our next hero of de-extinction.

I feel like we need a wildlife park to protect and assist any deextinct animal's return to this world.
They have one. They made one

Ah the dodos, simply adorable birds.
I want to visit the dodo de extinction center, and make sure to snuggle with this cute lil birb
@@EclipsingTNT no, no I’m pretty sure it was the Cretaceous Camp???
More important than the dodo is the de-extinction of the Moa species in New Zealand. Some trees require their fruit to pass through a Moa digestive tract for germination. There are trees Centuries old with no way to reproduce!
It might be easier to work out how to replicate what the Moa gut did that was so crucial.
would there ever be a video on the actual process? maybe a small documentary on the steps involved for de-extinction? i'd love to see the scientists' work and alp

When will the Passenger pigeon be De-Extinct?!
Have you considered the passenger pigeon for a future project? They went extinct as recently as 1914, surely there must be enough genetic material remaining to sequence, and they were a major component species of their biome before overhunting and habitat fragmentation killed them all off. Given that the dodo was a member of the same order, you might even be able to directly apply lessons learned from the dodo project toward resurrecting the passenger pigeon. Just a thought.
I feel bad for the Dodo, it didnt even run from the sailors. Such an easy target
Invasive species such as pigs and monkeys also wiped out the dodos by eating their eggs.
@@EclipsingTNT That is because it grew up on an island where it was used to not encountering predators, and then it was ill prepared for those predators
@@jamessparkman6604 I know that already.
They literally forgot how being scared works
Not their fault though, they didn’t need it for millenias
☹️
Just be sure to let a person be the first thing it sees when it hatches. Because that worked so well for Dr Hammond.
Great video Colossal bioscienses by the way on what date are the dodo and thylacine going to be resurrected? although we are only in 2024
Absolutely love your Company. A few Questions though.
- I've heard someone mention once that it doesn't seem to be possible to clone Birds. Were the Problems regarding this solved if it was indeed true?
- Are there Plans to clone other Bird Species like the Passenger Pigeon and the Carolina Parakeet if the Plans with the Dodo succeed? (Hope though it will be when and not if. Don't give up🤗)
- are there Plans for the cloned Species to be also exhibited in Zoos? This would be definitely a big Help for growing the Population and could prevent them from going extinct again if something should happen in the Wild. Especially useful for Species that don't have much Offspring or need a long Time to mature
Would absolutely appreciate it if someone from your Team might find the Time to answer my Questions
If this works it will be the beginning of a new era
All I can say is I hope we are collecting dna samples of the critically endangered species we currently have and from
Multiple gene pools so we can either prevent them fro
Going extinct or de-extinct them when we cause them to go extinct
It seems that everyone is talking about bringing the Dodo back, but what about the Passenger Pigion and the Carolina Parakeet? I believe that they should be brought back as well, as they were extinct due to hunting and human interferance.
I know the Dodo is iconic, but I'd prefer the pigeon and especially the parakeet as well.
The passenger pigeon is currently under the de-extinction process by a company called Revive and Restore. There is currently no de-extinction project for the Carolina parakeet. I wish they would also add the Carolina parakeet into their de-extinction projects along with the turnspit dog and the Labrador duck
I definitely need a pet dodo!
Me too :)
@@PaolaLeon-bo9ex I called dips 😼
@Colossal Biosciences Cool!! You should also bring back the turnspit dog!!
Yeah!!!
nahh let all the dogs become extinct

@@urbanwarchief I know, they are very beautiful, but in the old comment I was talking about the Tasmanian tigers that went extinct in 1936.
I am Italian and I am learning English (I am still a teenager) so I might have made some mistakes in the sentence.
@@christianerba makes sense. My mistake.
Tell me this doesn't sound like every scientific futuristic jargon you'd hear running on a loop on a television in a movie or video game horror? Sounds just like Umbrella Corp 🏖️ and i don't even like RE much
Bro, your head's in the right place. They aren't de-extincting these animals, they're making chimeras. They are editing the fuck out of the extant species' genomes and plugging in a few genes from the target in hopes of expressing traits that might trick the public into thinking it's some sort of hybrid at the very least. The reality is that the genes they will be introducing are guestimations from their comparative analyses between the extant species and the target species - in any case, they will be re-constructing the genes completely artificially using the nucleotide sequences derived from what recovered DNA they have available. Even then, they'll have to force an expression of specific genes to achieve the desired outcomes. The complexity of this task, without living tissues, will most likely lead to some disturbing initial results.
This company will attract initial investment from this folly, but they're just going to use this de-extinction endeavor as a proving ground for public support. Their next 'evolutionary' step will be to pivot from these experiments to full-blown human genome editing. The entire plan is laid out in their latest video.
Bring them back
Thank you for the wonderful missions. Sincerely, God bless you.
Love how many people get to know my beautiful country
yes this is the best news of my day
Real live Umbrella Company. I love it!
We only learn when we push the boundaries and this could be a positive start. I doubt the Dodo will ever roam Mauritius in significant numbers due to human destruction of the ecosystem, but could be a stepping stone. The current project won't develop a true Dodo (that'd require extracting DNA from bones) but might fill a nich. Besides, who wouldn't love to see a Dodo in their local zoo, not to mention maybe being an interesting pet.
Now this is a company I want to work for.
We're hiring! We encourage you to take a look at our current openings at colossal.com/careers/

Dodos look like a big fat tasty bird. Hopefully we can get a healthy enough population to see what they taste like. Might be the next chicken.
Great video by the way on what date are they going to clone the dodo?If they are successful in cloning the mammoth and the thylacine that other species want to resurrect?

This is great, will follow this closely, would love to learn more about the science and problems faced with this. I understand dodos are some relation to the pigeon so that gives some hope. Is there any dodo viable DNA? I understand that their favourite food is also extinct, is that possible to bring back as well? I hope this can be pulled off. How many would be needed to become a viable population?
There's a dodo head specimen or two.
Hello! Thanks for your interest and questions. Regarding the dodo DNA, the only viable soft tissue that remains today is a dried head. A large amount of subfossil material has been collected on Mauritius, mostly from the Mare aux Songes swamp. Thanks to our Lead Paleogeneticist, Beth Shapiro, Ph.D., we have secured the full dodo genome from a specimen housed in Copenhagen’s Natural History Museum.
Regarding its diet, the dodo is thought to have eaten primarily fruit and used gizzard stones to help digest its food. Inhabiting the woods in drier coastal areas, and having an abundance of food and a lack of predators, it is believed that the dodo lost the need for flight and became well adapted as a flightless, ground-dwelling bird. We encourage you to visit colossal.com/dodo/ for more info about our plans!
This is awesome.
I wonder, if brought back, could the dodo be domesticated similar to chickens and waterfowl.
wtf @1:28 invisible pipette tip wahahaha
How will you keep the predators from eating the dodos if that is one of the main things that killed them in the first place
If you check out their website about the Dodo, this a the long shot out of all 3 projects they've going right now.
In an enclosure.
I love this one !
I tame them in ark just to make a wall of dodos. In real life ill finally have my wall of dodos
@1:27 It's funny to see how they use the pipette without a pipette tip 🤭
i support the idea
🙌🙌
Please please please can science bring back the Dodo bird please please???? 🥺
We are working hard to make this happen, but we don't have an official date yet. Stay tuned on our socials or newsletter for future updates: colossal.com/newsletter
It will be very interesting, we need preserve the wildlife and bring back the species than humans extinguished, good luck
I respect and support what you are doing but the name Colossal Biosciences sounds a bit evil. Kind of like Massive Dynamic in the sci-fi series Fringe.

Great vision!😮 What do you think about reviving the mohoidae birds and other species of Hawaii? Kauai island would be possibly a great habitat for the lost species of that island, most prominent the Kauai O'O (extinct in 1987). It is a small and manageable habitat and the native people of Hawaii as well as the US government World would surely support the idea.
Amazing, keep de-extincting 🔬
Vorombe Titan
Umm maybe let’s first try and figure out how to clone a bird in general.
First they need a usable Genome and this definitely takes some Time, so they can't start early enough. I think their biggest Priority at the Moment is the Woolly Mammoth anyways and the Tasmanian Tiger is probably second.
It's definitely better to be prepared when a big scientific Breakthrough comes than not even having done a Quarter of the Work
🦤🪺🦤I want to see a dodo bird now. Is is de-extinct yet? 🦤🪺🦤
😂 this will definitely still take a few Years and there would probably be a really big Announcement when it finally happens (really hoping for Live Streams or at least normal Videos in which we can see the Animals once the Time finally comes).
If nothing changed regarding the Plans though, we might get the first Mammoth in 2028 though if I remember correctly, so they'll probably try to start the Pregnancy in 2026 and then it'll take approximately 2 Years until it is born.
Didn't hear anything yet about a approximate Time for the other Species
And yes, it would definitely be a Sight to behold. I hope we will be able to see a successfully cloned extinct Animal in a few Years 😃
Why does this feel like the start to a zombie movie?
YEEEEEEEEES
Can I visit where you are reviving the dodo? I wanna help. Somehow.
Looks like you'll be visiting the beautiful country of Mauritius🏝as our intention is to partner with their government to establish a foundation for the de-extinction and eventual rewilding of the beloved bird we all miss. We will need to recreate a sustainable habitat where it is protected from the non-native species that once led to its demise. 🇲🇺🦤
Why are you guys resurrecting the dodo again?
Great question - Colossal focuses on reviving species that humans directly made extinct. Within the last 50 years, it is estimated the world's bird population has declined by nearly 3 billion. This work will not only help us restore an iconic animal that we hunted into extinction, but also lay the foundation for unlocking other bird species that would positively impact our threatened environments.
Humans have done evil on earth, now it's time to undo that evil and bring back the dodo.
No one show this to A.I. they'll be mad at us
Yes please, I want to apologize to them.
Robert Irwin should be there when see these guys again.
we killed them.
we bring em back❤️
So we can kill them again. Yes! It will be
or you don't disappear thousands of dollars and just take a bunch of grapes pack them to an island with no predators for these pigeons and lots of food for these animals and wait and see
interesting
alright time to get some mejoberries and narco berries! i will name him Mr. Snuggles the destroyer !!!
Jesus is coming back
pls mammoth vid
Didn’t rats & pigs cause the Dodo’s demise?

Dodo-fil-a
Hunters and poachers don’t give a shit. All they need is to take selfies and to entertain.
That's one of the Reasons why I hope that they will also be kept in some Zoos. Cloning them is one Thing, but we also need to protect them.
Noble effort but founded on an unethical premis. People will value nature far more if species when gone are gone for good. First we must learn how not to allow them to become extinct in the first place before we go bringing then back. What are we bringing them back to ? Is it sustainable? What impact will they have on existing species.? What would be the point of bringing back the mammoth, for instance, if we can't even guarantee the future of elephants? Learn to save what we have. If we can do that, then perhaps we can move forward as suggested, but not until.
There is no content or nothing in this video.
Exactly!
I hope everyone just as an educated adult watch’s, and for the love of god reads jurassic park
The least it could do if it escaped was bite some human’s knees. It wouldn’t be able to kill.
I already got it. They are going to bring these animals back which is a beautiful thing. Than they are going to bring back a bunch of other extinct animals, than more. And than the world will end. Whoever survives tells the story and repopulate mankind. Rewriting history. The loop, over and over. Think bout it.
Bringing these animals back is nothing like Jurassic Park. If we could miraculously clone Non-Avian Dinosaurs, that would cause the same amount of problems as Rabbits and Cane Toads did when they were brought into Australia. Non-Avian Dinosaurs evolved in ecosystems that are non-existent today, new environments that aren’t prepared for these animals. If they were brought back and released into the wild, they would well and truly cause detrimental environmental impacts as any other invasive species has done in the past.
But bringing back animals that became extinct recently like Mammoths or Dodo’s is different, because they became extinct recently enough that the ecosystem they existed in still exist. So bringing them back into their natural habitat, would be the same as reintroducing a species into new regions where they were wiped previously wiped out, as we’ve already done reintroducing Wolves in Yellowstone National Park, or Giant Tortoises in Mauritius to replace the ones wiped out alongside the Dodo. So when there brought back, they’d just go back into the empty niche they previously filled like nothing happened, and continue interacting with the same animals they shared their habitat with when the became extinct (newly introduced Dodo’s and Tassie Devils might still have trouble with invasive species still present in their native habitats, so that’s gonna have to be an issue they’ll have to sort out later, but it still proves my point that there not gonna cause any humanity ending catastrophes)
In summary, brining back Dinosaurs would the same as bringing in an invasive species, but bring back recently extinct species like Mammoths, Dodo’s, or Tasmanian Tigers, is basically reintroducing them to their original habitats.
You’ve read far too many fiction novels.

Elon Musk plan to real life version of Jurassic Park.
I hope he doesn't get involved. That A-Hole doesn't need to ruin everything
I mean bringing animals back is cool but I dunno if I like humans playing with genetics to this degree.
Don't create a hybrid to replace 3.5 billions years of evolution this animal gone we need to protect those that already exist.
But if this technology is perfected, we can use it to save every other endangered species on the planet, and bring them back if they were to ever become extinct
Then in protest you should go into the woods, not use any technology at all. Live from nature. Live and lead by your example. If you don’t want to the shut your mouth
Their Work also helps with that. Their Work on the Mammoths seems to already have helped to improve the Conservation of other Elephant Species. Also definitely hope that they won't be just Hybrids. I really hope that we'll get Animals that are as genetically pure as possible someday.
A Hybrid would be a good Start though because you could use those as Surrogate Mothers because they would be even genetically closer to the real Animal, which would hopefully mean way less Complications.
Just hope no Hybrids will be released to the Wild, because if there are someday purer Animals, those Hybrids would've already taken over the ecological Niche and would interbreed with the (relatively) pure Specimens)
And at the end the Boss of your Strange Company and other freaks are eaten alive by the Dodos. Playing to be God always ends like this. 💫🥳
Just don’t!! Seriously!! What the hell!!
This is stupid. Leave the past in the past
