- 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. Watch and learn about our de-extinction process for this iconic species.

I really can't wait to be able to visit one of their deextinction preserves
Same
I know! Unfortunately, it's probably going to be super luxury and expensive for most not to get the chance. They should allow easier access for the general public to learn from
Maybe it’s gonna be a zoo with all the extinct animals they deextinct
Yeah Jurassic Park worked out really well in the movies
@@karmasutra4774John Hammond tried that once.
We’re repopulating!!! So happy to see humans working towards fixing our mistakes. If Colossal has any preserve/park people can visit, i’d be much more than happy to support this.
Me too! I just hope it is affordable .. space travel is a million and out of reach for so many. I hope they can have some basic tours lol

Please do this in the next few years I want to see a dodo with my own eyes.
Welcome to Pleistocene Park!
Genuinely interesting technology! Im kind of curious though, would these hybrid species look/act identical to the species theyre intended to replicate? Or would we see a different variation in both behavior and design compared to the original dodo? If youre trying to re-integrate a species into a niche, id imagine youd have to get it really similar.
Thanks for your question. Similar to other strategies employed for conservation purposes, our goal is to fill the niche left by an animal’s extinction. By engineering a proxy species using the closest living relative, we have an opportunity to create an animal that is as close as possible to filling the niche left by the dodo on the island of Mauritius; a modern dodo.
How do you plan to introduce these species into their habitat? How would they behave as dodos if there’s no references alive?
they would first need to take decades of breeding in captivity.
before we have a viable population that we could reintroduce.
that leave us the time to get rid of pigs, cats and rats on the islands they inhabited, which caused their extinction.
and to create new reserve that will house the birds.
or we are unnable to wait and we drop them in a fenced area to keep predators away, or monitor the nest to take the eggs before they hatch or get eaten, then we release them once they're young adult.
i would go with a mix of the two.
We create new reserve, we start a extermination of the invasive non-native species. We create a captive breeding population (150-200 dodos). That should take 8-12years maybe.
Then we continue captive breeding AND we realease them in fenced area, and monitor the nest.
Then once there's really no more invasive specie we can get them in the wild without fence (at this stage we should have a decent population of few hundreds or thousands individuals).
This should take 15-20 years maybe ?
As for their behaviour and wether or not they're good surrogate and act like real dodo, we can't really know.
But we have museum specimens with DNA, we only need to compare. Normally as long as they have all the essential dna of the dodo they're basically the same things.
if i replace 30% of your dna with the one of a dolphin, as long as it's the common dna you wouldn't see a difference, heck i could replace 90% of your dna with chimpanzee one as long as the few % of dna that differenciate you from the chimp are still here, you would'nt be any different.
Dodos as far as we know didn’t have too complex of lives we could touch them the same way we did Californian condors
@@proudlywild1491
As far as 1700 sailor and pseudo-naturalist who mostly saw those bird as dumb easy to kill animal, knew.
Yeah we know nothing except that they probably were smarter and more complex than we give them credit for.
Yo let’s go, can’t wait to see the tigers video
Love the work you're doing!! I would love if you would bring back the Turnspit dog
De-extincting Pet Breeds would definitely be interesting.
A Shame that there is probably no genetic Material of the Sumxu (would love to see those) because I think there was a Museum Specimen once but it got destroyed
I got a question, what step is colossal at towards De-extincting the dodo and mammoth?
I've heard mammoths will be back in 2027-2028, and dodos and thylacines will probably be before that
Moa, mammoth ,Irish elk
Would you guys have a rough date of when the dodo bird Could be back, You said the Woolly mammoth could be back by 2027/2028 but im having a hard time finding a rough date of other Animals, such as the dodo, Love what you guys are doing by the way.
Hello 👋 Thanks for your question and support. Understanding and re-writing tens of thousands of years of evolution won’t be fast or easy. Executing each step takes time, and predicting how mutations affect adaptation and speciation will be imperfect. We aim to assess our engineering efforts at the two year mark to better understand what additional engineering efforts may be required, if any. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter at colossal.com so you can keep up with our progress!
Wait, didn’t someone already make a park full of de-extincted animals? What was it called? Cretaceous Camp? Triassic Terrain? Gah, it’s on the tip of my tongue 😜
There already is a Camp Cretaceous in the Jurassic World franchise funnily enough
@@lochness5524 lmao! I had no idea!
Resurrecting apex carnivorous of Australia is another greatly needed Thing, Australian has no native apex carnivores to balance the ecosystem and that is over run with introduced herbivores. Bringing back the Quinkana the giant land crocodile and megalania the giant monitor lizard, we already have proxy species such as the Cuban crocodile the most terrestrial species alive and Komodo dragons. Also good luck on the dodo bird, you will have to worry about introduced Species on the island, and they would need to be fenced off like Australia’s smaller rare and endangered species.
Thanks for your support! 🙌🙌
Great video i have an opinion about cloning and genetic editing for me,it is very interesting and example would be that to clone and megalania and terror Bird its adn must be altered to turn it into its extinct version by chance you can?
d be
Amazing, thanks 👍
OMG yesyesyesyesyes this is actually happening!
It is! 🦤🦤
What’s the timeframe of one day hatching a dodo bird from a pigeon egg?
10 years at least
Thanks for the tutorial
Great video colossal biosciences I hope that the mammoth will be resurrected by 2027 and the dodo but I have a question if they are successful in resurrecting 3 animals that other animals want to resurrect?
Hi colossal, I'm your work on De-extinction and Conversation of animals, here's my list of animals to possibly bring back thru CRISPR
1. Mastodon (Mammut americanum)
2. American lion (Panthera atrox)
3. Jefferson’s ground sloth (Megalonyx jeffersonii)
4. Giant armadillos (Glyptodonts)
5. Stag-moose (Cervalces scotti)
6. Giant short-face bear (Arctodus simus)
7. And the Passenger pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius)
I think I heard somewhere that there already doing passenger pigeon but I could be wrong
@@darthrevan5976 I hope they do it
@@monsterkajiu1912 same
They should also bring back the turnspit dog and the Labrador duck
we should never bring back the short faced bear they have been humanity's enemy since day one !
I got a question, how far is colossal with De-extincting the dodo?? when can we see it ? how can we follow the progression?
I know I've just asked a few Questions under the other Dodo Video, but another Thought came up.
It is always spoken about editing the Genome instead of cloning.
My Questions are:
- how pure would those Animals most likely be?
- are those Hybrids just the first Step and might be used as Surrogate Mothers that are genetically closer to the actual Animal?
- also: why the AI Voice (seems to me at least to be AI) in the Videos? Just noticed it and it doesn't really invoke Trust. Makes me worried a bit that this might not actually be the official Channel of Colossal
I'm curious
Do you guys have several general teams working on purely one animal, or are your teams specific for one stage so that they can jump to new animals after doing their part?
Great question! We have a Species Director per animal each with their own dedicated team focused on genome and cell engineering. In addition, we have several teams who work across species on Embryology, Computational Sciences, Exogenous Development, Animal Operations, and more.
@@itiscolossal when you bring the animals back, do have plans to ensure the animals possess the basic emotional and social needs they’d need for healthy mental health?
@Colossal Biosciences Elon Musk is building a real-life Jurassic Park confirmed by 2030
@@itiscolossal thank you for replying back.
@@itiscolossal when
What year do they come back? (Or the year he has a chance of coming back)
We would also need to get rid of all of the invasive animals on Mauritius island
Aren't dodo eggs and chicken of different sizes? How will it work?
The first batch will be stunted. After that they grow to enormous sizes and turn into kaiju, eh, giant city demolishing monsters. Everybody dies. Oh poo poo.
"Plan to leverage interspecific germline transfers with chickens." If I understand correctly, you want to introduce germ cells of Caloenas nicobaria genetically modified by CRISPR technology or relative within an egg (cell wise) of Gallus gallus at the same stage of growth. However, karyogamy would imply that the embryo formed, if it even manages to survive, will have a genome composed of only 50% of that of Raphus cuculatus, and 50% of the genome of a chicken. Even if I am convinced that CRISPR technologies will allow us to obtain a germ cell from the Dodo, we cannot talk about de-extinction of this Mauritian emblem. I wonder why you will not proceed earlier to the genetic modification of an egg cell or at least totipotent of a Caloenas nicobaria, and then proceed to a nucleic transfer with another egg cell of Caloenas nicobaria in order to achieve a traditional reproductive cloning. This will limit the risks of failure in the first stages of embryogenesis (due to the fact that we limit the interspecific transfers with species phylogenetically distant from the Dodo) and will give rise to the true resurrection of Raphus cucullatus. Otherwise, studies concerning the eggs, their formation and the embryonic development of oviparous would be necessary to lead to reconstructions of synthetic eggs. This would be research that I would like to undertake, except that my young age has not led me (yet five years) to a doctorate. Molecular paleobiology is more than a passion for me, and that is why de-extinction is a life project for me, especially for avian paleogenetics.
I think their going use the opposite half of the genome for another dodo and selectively breed the birds until a genetically perfect dodo has been achieved this I believe will minimize health defects.
But, il could be faster and easier with a standard reproductive cloning process. The Time to select the genetically perfect dodo would be too long.
@@louiscaillaud4897 true it will be interesting to see why they are doing that way.
So where will the dodo be in the world once they fully resurrected?
Wait.... couldn't you do something similar with theropod dinosaurs since they are the ancestors of modern birds?
Do you have any plan to revive some extinct fish species in the future?
Can’t wait for 2027, year of the mammoths, or technically Mammophants lol
Can you do woolly rhino?
Bro you asking like this is an art commission
@@balldropper3423 idc
@stephen-vqwc there still not gonna do it
could you guys imagine if us humans resurrected the gorgonopsids in stuff
I would Like to try some grilled Dodo Brest 🗿
If they already did sequence the dodos genome in 2022 then what is taking them so long to fit there new genome in to a cell?
damn liberals
Zentreya?
I have no doubt about bringing them back, it's just are there consequences of bringing back old ecosystems?
This isn’t bringing back old ecosystems. The ecosystem that they are apart of still exists. Dodo’s only became extinct 361 years ago, that’s hardly enough time for their entire ecosystem to change radically. It’s only changed due to missing pieces or invasive species. Bringing them back would be like inserting a missing piece to a puzzle
Can you clone me into a super human? Can you copy consciousness?
please revive the dodo
Saber tooth tiger and Saber tooth bear please ❤️
They can’t just bring back anything they want..
I want giant sloths
A yes eugenic hobbys
This won't end badly at all (spoiler: it will)
De-Extincting has nothing to do with eugenics!
@@paulrichardson2554 No its a hobby for those who do want/have something to do with eugenics.
@@McGillus @McGillus Are you calling every geneticist a eugenicist? The only geneticist who are somewhat close to eugenics are the few ones trying to make designer babys the rest definitely aren't.
De-Extinct the Caspian Tiger later soon in 2025.
when the first de extinction of the dodo bird hatches, it's going to be a They/Them.
"bird production" :)
The dodo is extremely larger than the Nicobar pigeon wouldn't there be hatching problems for the baby?
Maybe the baby dodo is the same size of a baby pigeon
They will be stunted at first but soon grow up into city destroying monsters and everyone dies. Too bad they couldn't use ostrich eggs. Start large and work down.
This was a question I had as well, the dodo is much bigger than the pigeon. Maybe that's why they are also using a chicken to actually lay the egg, if I understood correctly.
May i cannot join with yours
Ave Dodo
First!
first
Can you reboot me now
🦤🪺🦤I want to see a dodo bird now. Is is de-extinct yet? 🦤🪺🦤
They should be ressurected..IF God let them died out just because of our selfishness..
honestly fuck it the world is already fucked lol if these things came back oh well
Elon Musk building a real-life Jurassic Park confirmed by 2030:
Smilodon
Tyrannosaurus
Haha so funny
No that's not funny it's real seriously
Not possible
Now its time for dinos t rexes and other fun things
What year do you think you will bring the dodo 🦤 back
