Reawakening Extinct Species
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 сер 2024
- Using new genetic technologies, scientists are trying to bring back extinct species. Meet researchers working to revive the passenger pigeon, once the most abundant bird in the world, and the woolly mammoth, which they say could slow down the melting of Arctic permafrost. It may be possible, but is it right to turn back the clock?

If it won't have a negative impact of the environment, then it's fine with me.
They dont care if you get pissed there gonna do it despite public opinion.
And who judges what is negative? You?
@@johnshilling2221 Destruction of other species, damage to surroundings... Etc, etc, etc, etc...
Just because they existed once doesn't mean they'll be good for everyone at this day and age so we need to be careful which species we revive and wich we don't. Biggest problem is that they don't share immunity to viruses today so they might work as nests and leeway for something much worse so extreme caution is required.
@@johnshilling2221
It's negative when it affects the current ecosystem and this will harm other species in the ecosystem.

Exactly.
Some ppl just talk out of their asses without thinking possible outcomes/results that will affect other.

Why don’t protect the animals that alive right now then bring back the extinct animals?
Because many animals that have gone extinct fill a special role in the environment that no other animals do
Because people can work on multiple projects at once.
Why not both?
Yes. Because it’s only up to these people to make a choice between those two alternatives. Lol
U can do both u know bringing back while protecting the alive ones
I think we should bring them back if we have the science to do so, especially if their extinction was at the hands of humans.
Let's bring back humane humans, I hear they died out a long, long time ago.

It would be a happy mistake, that would mean we could bring back a few.
Well, they'd also have to find a way to get the bird to have the same kind of personality as the passenger pigeon, otherwise they're just cosmetically/functionally different.

8:56 The key to the whole thing. You can’t bring back an extinct animal because it’s cute - you only bring it back if it’ll help. If you bring back an animal that’s still a pest it’ll either be exterminated or it’ll become too destructive to justify the effort & mire it in controversy.
well if you say it this way then we must have to exterminate Humans cause every point you said fits humans perfectly fine
humans are a pest .destroying ecosystems producing a lot of waste and shit
humans are invasive they go into areas and take them over shoo away every other creature who normaly live there and theyr produce tons of polution
think of it this way a Passenger pigeon would still be food for other Animals like Hawks,Eagles,Bobcats,Coyotes,Snakes and many more
on the other hand Humans aren´t food for anything (cause the few ppl who get eaten by an Animal isn´t really an impact)
Jude Luckett - Never say never.

simply humans reproduce like bunnys while having literaly no predatore who will kill them
@Jude Luckett
well nothing stand a chance agaisnt us not even the biggest dinosaur
a bomb or granade would kill /hurt anything
but not think about this
the problem would be there is no space
if we would make dinosaurs they would start to compete with our Animals leading into chaos and extinction
also Dinosaurs and any other creature would probably get ill and then die cause they never encountered our illnesses etc
+ when Bones fossilize the actual Bone turnes into stone so there is not a single bit of DNA left
if there would be any DNA we would actualy know how they look (colore wise etc)

@@jordanespana3863 but how else are they going to make babies. They get blood so the can lay eggs. Since they need protein to lay eggs. The protein comes from our blood. So they need blood to reproduce as well.

I love birds and I used to paint and draw birds for Wildlife competition, I would love to see the passenger pigeon and other species brought back to life. But what I believe we need more than ever at this time, is the "Northern White Rhinoceros", because according to this documentary they are almost extinct.
They are still living, in tas and on the mainland.. I'm from tas
I remember reading an article in (IIRC) Life Magazine in ~1960 called "The Passing of the Passenger Pigeon." They went extinct just after my dad was born (1912) but he told me stories about his dad and grandpa hunting and trapping them, especially the squibs (babies.) I remember crying about it; they were so beautiful and now completely gone. The last 100,000 of them still in the wild couldn't maintain their populations; they needed those huge numbers to survive so even when they were finally protected, it was too late.
That lady at the end really thought it made more sense to bring back a giant hairy elephant species that went extinct thousands of years ago rather than bringing back pretty bird species that went extinct a hundred years ago. This bird that was responsible for the growth of practically all the trees in the eastern US
I hope one day That Tasmanian tigers dodo bird's woolly mammoth's and passenger pigeons will be roaming free in the wild
*wooly mammoths in the wi-*
*have you gone mad*
i heard i think if they revive the wolly mamooths they would be in the Tundra- idk ;w;
I hope everything we’ve done to every creature can be undone.
megalodon
Well, woolly mammoths might not be brought back to life, because its DNA is “Too old”.
I love how they're saying dino DNA is 100% an impossibility but today we've been about to find multiple viable soft tissue samples and a whole mummified dino. So much for scientific impossibility.
@Nobody Knows actually it wasn't 65 million years it was less they found intact DNA in some of the bones
@Hike Jumalon no thats not accurate
@Hike Jumalon besides what u see in the movies,they're not gonna be showing the same traits like they had in jurassic park
even if they did find soft dino tissue that was mummified dna only stays for 100,000 years so all the dna in that tissue would be dead
As I always said nothing is impossible
Witnessing these animals disappear just brings tears to my eyes. I want to preserve all of the diverse life forms on earth.
I remember watching this documentary when I was 5-7, quite a fascinating area of study.
I would love to see the passenger pigeon alive. They were beautiful relatives of fan tails and rock doves.
I’m absolutely fine with it as long as the ecosystem is fine with it lol. In fact I would LOVE to see a passenger pigeon alive today!
Illusive[Brick] I do too, I LOVE animals especially birds, but if they bring them back, and MORE extinct birds, the people that actually care abt animals and try to keep them alive would have more work to do, and it might be quite hard:/
This is my 2nd favorite thing to hope to see scientifically in my lifetime. My ultimate would be time travel, its still considered "impossible" but remember, flying was considered impossible only a few hundred years ago. To see the ability to bring back animals who no longer live anymore would be so amazing. Tazmanian Tiger, Passenger pidgeon, and Mammoth are the three id love to see alive.
Why didn’t they just grab the passenger pigeons reboot card?
GG- Jacob I’m dead😂😂
It ran out before they could get it😂
AAAAAA
Here's a thought. The green sea turtles are no longer endangered in Florida. Saving such animals is hardly different from bringing back a species which has already fallen over the edge.
I hope we succeed in bringing back species that were wiped out by our ancestors. I believe there should be a sense of obligation to do so since we're the reason they became extinct.
I don't think they will ever really be the same but it would be nice to try
Instructions not clear, started a zombie
I swear I saw a passenger pigeon yesterday. Looked exactly like that. I thought it was a robin cause of the reddish/orange chest but when I Looked closer while driving by I realized it’s physical features looked like a pigeon and I thought it was odd because I’d never seen a pigeon like that

Never say never with science it proves us wrong over and over it only takes TIME.
The Passenger Pigeon was a major food group for the American Revolutionary Army. You could walk into a forest, to a tree where they were roosting, and shoot buckshot up into the tree. The shot would not wake the pigeons, but if any survived and hit the ground running the rustling of the leaves would wake the rest. Also, I lived in Indiana in the 1980's and I remember when I went to work one morning there was a huge line of birds flying North to South as far as I could see in both directions. I have never found out what those birds were (black or dark brown colored but they were to high up to tell) but it gives me an very good idea what a vary large flock of Passenger Pigeons would look like.

Please i want all of those back. I mean there the most coolest animals I've ever seen. Better than anything today. Also protect the endangered species. I dont want u to clone moreM
VANTISS crew Aurochs and quagga have been part of a selective breeding project to produce something similar and introduce them to the wild. you should check that out. it's a nice idea but you can't teach them to be what they look like.
davareno182 Well its true that they can act the way the real extinct animal use to act, But in my personal opinion i guess it will be nice to see a cloned animal
shlibber
i'm sure that's true. don't get me wrong, i'm all for selective breeding to reintroduce versions of extinct species as a form of reparation. the problem is that recreating what took thousands of years to significantly change doesn't teach a passenger pigeon its migratory patterns. i dunno, maybe just put an asterisk next to their name in the encyclopedia lol... but don't be discouraged from the project
shlibber
certainly. i hope for the quaggas' sake, they don't end up interbreeding with zebras though. the thylacine is a particularly sad story. i love the idea of bringing them back but i think it's likely that small populations exist in the uninhabitable parts of tasmania. most areas are next to impossible to survey by foot. if a cloned (and probably inbred) population is introduced, i feel it would be damaging to a current population. unless cloning takes significant strides in the next decade, we might end up replacing a natural species with a synthetic one wrought with disease or they at least won't be 100% thylacine. now, if one were cloned, sterilized, GPS tagged and released now... i assume it would follow pheromones. it might be a good way to prove or disprove the existence of the species first.
just dodo birds plz
was watching outlander the other day and its set in 1770ish and they added cgi flocks of passenger pigeons in the most recent episode. it was beautiful. it had me thinking about them and then this popped up in my recommended. weird. it would be so cool to go back in time and see some of these animals.
This is so interesting. Now I’m thinking if you can wake up an animal can you wake up a caveman?

Lmao pigeons do stupid stuff but thats why I love ‘em :^)
Vali Prem not all of them, some of them died for other reasons
The Circle of Life. Also bringing back an extinct species can interrupt the ecosystem.
Vali Prem why would you want a WILD animal as a PET? to take it as a pet you’re ruining it’s chance to actually survive in the wild
If the extinct animals are bought back what will that do to the ecosystem? And will that effect other animals?
The passenger pigeon is a beneficiary to the environment. They feed on the acorns of red oaks. Allowing White oaks to flourish.
Good question my friend mother nature has already begun to adjust

But what I believe we need more than ever at this time, is the "Northern White Rhinoceros", because according to this documentary they are almost extinct.
I wouldn't worry about a few whatever. It's not like that would hurt the ecosystem.
This is underrated. People should view this video more.
I think we should start with the most recent then the oldest
( like the ones that help the economy and environment)
There are two rypes of humans:
Those that destroy and those that conserve.
@Caп¡z Aпuв¡z It's a shame that most people fall into your third category, I try to help and conserve the wildlife, I wish more people would, even if people would make a small backyard habitat, that would be better than nothing.
One that builds the sandcastle and one that comes up to knock it down.
Bringing back animals that are already extinct, I have my reservations about that. I tend to feel that it would better serve the world, at this time, to place our efforts in areas that will help strengthen those species which are presently endangered. To take actions that will help to overcome issues of weakening biodiversity through captive breeding/wild release programs that can help overcome the issues arising from man's interference in animal's ability to migrate from one population to another.
I can't help to notice that the animals being targeted in this program do not appear to include any predators. And yet it is the predatory animals that man often targets the hardest inspite of the fact that they are of the utmost importance for maintaining the overall health of the various ecosystems that they function within.
I have no problem with the idea of creating a stockpile of genetic material or analysing the materials contained within. But as much as I'd love to see some of the iconic creatures from the past. Most people would be enamoured by the idea. I also know that over the past century of so, mankind has been responsible for the disappearance of many species & we have more than enough knowledge to say that their return would be unlikely to cause any serious unforseen issues. But while we may be able to genetically engineer their return, how are we going to genetically engineer the diversity necessary to expand & maintain a healthy population of these creatures?
Until we can give reasonably sound answers to such questions, I believe that we should be applying the limited resources at hand to identifying those species which can be most benefited by them. And not just herbivores. We can help nature to get past the issues we have created for them. And we can do so in a way that promotes healthy ecosystems, which is far more important that fulfilling dreams inspired by Sci-fi.
The thylacine is a planned animal in this program, and that was a predator.
They’ll likely achieve diversity using different preserved specimens, careful breeding, and cloning, until the gene pool grows large enough to sustain itself. We’ve shown we can start with relatively small gene pools to create healthy, diverse populations, every time we create a new dog breed.
If they bring the pigeons back I'm keeping one as a pet
U should add passenger ..
Pigeons are still alive today
Wonderful info and how passionate u folk are
Certain species need to remain extinct. While it may be cool to reanimated a smilodon, for example, there wouldn't be any benefit to it.
It would be a good idea to extend the funds to save dying species now, like snow leopards, current macaw breeds, and even frogs.

I think we should only bring back extinct animals that died only recently (1500s)
I don’t think Titanaboa is an extinct animal we’d want to bring back.
Who the hell would want to bring that thing back?
RESPAWN
Also, this is super neat, I hope we're able to bring back some of the animals we've screwed over
;-;
Perhaps through our intelligence we perhaps can repair the mistakes we made in the past.
Might be a good idea to try and figure out why and how passenger pigeons overpopulated back in the day.
It's been six years now, have they made any progress?
We do need some more "de-extinctecology" experts to study more vigorously the effects of extinct species into the ecological niches they will actually fill and the effects on the habitat around them. I believe we need to focus on environmental improvements for now not having any extinct species just for their beauty or the novelty (just yet)
Wonderful
For the amount of money some richer people just casually have laying around, I feel like anywhere between 5-50 million dollars wouldn't be a big deal for the revival of the passenger pigeon. If I won a major lottery I'd definitely help pitch in
It's been 6 years where y'all at?
one abundant bird that reminds me alot of the passenger pigeon is the mourning dove....i would love to see it brought back but in reality its probably the worst one to try it with because number 1 it was shown to need huge flocks to survive and number 2 it would again come in conflict with humans such as farming..i think the best one would be the ivory billed woodpecker i think the protection and growth of some of its old habitat and isolated habitat would give it the best shot
The great auk might be good as well. Their habitat is still there, remote and untouched. I'm not sure how we would get on with a razorbill as a surrogate egg layer.
We should maintain our natural neighbours much better, and if it means playing god to do so, then do it. I don't see any divine miracles stopping these animals going extinct, so I say we make our own.
How amazing to see a flock 5 k long and 2 wide going symmetrical in every direction at over 90k it would be breathtaking
It's been 6 years.
Any updates?
"if we have the resources to preserve what we already have i think that's where we should put the ressources" As if we can't work on both protecting extant animals AND de extinction, as if these two weren't two completely different domains of biology, but sure dude, you do you.
When she said "Or is it?" I swear I heard vsauce
Ha, that was before scientists found out sime fossils carry marrow with perfectly preserved marrow, perfect to use for cloning
for calcification, when scientists say dinosaurs are “way too old,” what they mean is what the narrator explains next. the information retained by strands of DNA decays after ~100,000 years. so even though genetic material can be recovered, the DNA is not able to be cloned because of its age.
When a species goes extinct, that's the end....
That one lady:
*OR IS IT?*
**vsauce song plays**
Why dont they protect the endangered animals etc. Tigers, lions, astatic leopards and other endangered species?
-_- theyre being protected while theyre also workin on bringing back
It's been 8 years any update on this ?
Sad to hear about the Northern White Rhino part, especially since it just went extinct recently.
Hopefully the research that was presented here is improving significantly and can potentially save endangered species in the future.
