I hope I am still alive when a Thylacine is brought back. It is an animal that was alive so recently in our history that it deserves to be here with us. As far as releasing them into the wild, it will take definite genetic diversity to be successful but if we don't try, we don't learn. Thankfully, people realized where we were heading with the American Bison and saved them before they met the same fate as the Tasmanian Tiger. It was interesting to hear that the Wooly Mammoth would help fight global warming. That should get the environmentalists on the bandwagon and get some of these billionaires to donate a few dollars to the good cause.
Best of luck to these scientists, researchers, etc..
I hope so too

Same Here I Wanna Be Alive For This To Come Back

Hope we make it, lol. 👍
Me too. But with the way things are looking ill probably be an old man.
Amazing how long they survived.
Sounds just beautiful, its just sad how much demage we the people have done to the earth and thein inhabitants.
That’s kind of why I hope we can bring back some of these animals, try to reverse some of the damage we’ve done. Some say it would be a bad idea for the ecosystem and I’m certainly no expert but I’ve heard experts say that the Thylacine didn’t go extinct that long ago that the ecosystem hasn’t changed that much for it to be bad to bring them back. I’d love for us to bring ‘em back and back into the wild and have them be protected
@@lassesuurmunne8340 Totally agree! I've seen the video of the last Tasmanian Tiger in captivity and its just so sad. Walking around in its little cage all by itself with no mates, its like it knows its the end for its species. I say bring this cute little guy back!
Love the sense of humor of the Australians.
Hope they make it work!!!
Awesome I'd love to see this happen
Me too, I wish I could see one.
I bet they can't bring back my AM radio to life.
I still use it
I'm pretty excited to see 😍😍
Awesome! 🎉I think that the Thylacine can be brought back by a week if you add enough cells it can form very quickly.
Been hearing this since I was a kid. Three decades passed!
So whats the update now? Its been a year now. I want to see tassie joey
I believe it too. If it happens it'll be a Melbourne institution that makes it happen as Melbourne is the scientific and research hub of the southern hemisphere.
Go the Vics!
this would be a dream
It is not the only extinct apex predator. Australia had countless other "apex" predators before the immigration of humans from 50 000 to 3000 years ago. The latest being human cultures taking over Australia just 3500 years ago bringing the Dingo which wiped the "Tasmanian Tiger" from the mainland.
The marsupial lion.
Sure, they've been claiming the same regarding the Wooly Mammoth for 25 years now.
good luck
I'm still waiting for a mammoth 🦣
maybe some investigation should done on the island of Caraboa in the Philippines. some of the dogs there have a remarkable similarity to the Tasmanian tiger
Tasmanian tigers are not related to dogs in any way. They are marsupials, related to kangaroos.
There’s already been sightings in Tasmania that there’s some tigers still roaming around
yeah I seen one too it was on a sleigh with a jolly old fat man red suit ,white beard ,saying something like HO HO HO.
last seen Christmas eve..
if you see him please let me know
I wonder if thats an actual fact that can be backed up about the Mammoth saving the Tundra ? Would be interesting if they actually kept the tundra cooler.
That's how the theory goes. That rewilding species like the mammoth could save the Arctic tundra.
I do have a soft spot for Thylacine, & am sad that so little effort was made to save them & in truth I am hopeful that some may still be around. However I think (I'm aware that it doesn't really matter what I think) that we should direct our focus on keeping animals that are endangered or threatened alive before bringing anything back. When the animals we already have are safe then by all means I would love to have many animals back that are now lost to us. Regardless of my thoughts I do wish the team well & would find it great to have tigers back.
Why is it that people think that we can't do both? One doesn't necessarily exclude the other. That's like saying we shouldn't go to Mars because we should focus on finding a cure for cancer. There is more than one science!
@@1legend517 Well, maybe both could be done, but if it can be proven that the species is extant in the wild, it would be a terrible idea to release a DNA produced freak anywhere near a surviving population, as the DNA produced specimens would not be pure thylacines. They would merely be a watered down copy, using some genes from a closely related species.
@@portcullis5622 That's a good point really. I didn't think about that - that if the thylacine is still out there, it may breed with the introduced clone/hybrid thylacines. That would create genetic pollution for the species. Or it could add genetic diversity. That's an interesting point. Sucks how we can't I wish it were still out there, I hope there's someone that can find some evidence that it is. I keep hoping for someone to find a remnant population in remote tasmania.
How are they going to incubate the embryos? Do they know the composition of thylacine milk?
Creating milk designed for an animal is very easy lol.
With the thylacine it will be easier because it's a marsupial. They develop externally in the pouch. You could most likely use a surrogate animal for that.
Hopefully the passenger pigeon can be brought back
Reports about de-extinction being possible have been around for some time, but the fact is there has been no real progress or success. Mammoth, thylacine etc were to resurrected but I haven‘t seen any of them in our zoos..
Sequencing somewhere near 95% of the thylacine genome, is incredible progress.
Luckily, there are optimistic people working on it - not at all like you.
@@ThrottleAddiction I would absolutely LOVE to see eg the Tassie Tiger being resurrected, but lots of euphoric presentations about how real and feasible such technologies are have been around for some time now. Admittedly, I find it difficult to differentiate between real feasibility and simple optimism..🤷🏼♂️
@@zeejimi4044 Okay, so the feasibility gets stronger the closer you are to 100% of the genome sequence.
That continues to occur - it's not going backwards and it's not lost during an election.
When we continue to make advancements and progress in these areas, it brings about both feasibility and optimism. No need to be confused where you sit, as either will do.
@@ThrottleAddiction While it would be absolutely marvellous to see the Tassie Tiger 🐅 or even the mammoth roaming around again, I‘m not at all sure if I would like to see dinosaurs walking around on our Earth..🦕 🦖 It seems to me that they were incapable of sustaining their existence here, and became extinct for that reason. The Tassie Tiger however was exterminated by human hand..🤷🏼♂️😱👎
@@zeejimi4044 I don't want to see dinosaurs either - I'm not sure why you mention that.
The chances of that occurring are near zero anyway, as there is no biological material to work from. It has all fossilised or mineralised in the millions of years since they last appeared (the mega-saurs).
The thylacine tragedy was deliberate and now regrettable, human intervention that should be rectified.
If they actually have the full DNA it's just a matter if time. Would be the thrill of a lifetime to see a newly extinct animal come back and be reintroduced to Tassie and Mainland Australia.
They've been had it, it has no close relatives which has been the problem.
1 yr gone... 9 yrs left bosko
🥺😭 WHY DOES THE TASMANIAN TIGER HAVE TO GO EXTINCT ( Once This Comes Back To Like I Wanna Move To Tasmanian)
They have already done other things. And king this will give them the money and good publicity to do more
Actually it only takes 65 days to revive this animal man bro very sad they’re extinct luckily we got loads of dna to revive thousands of thylacines
They bloody well should
I hope they bring it back, I'm sick of Richmond Tigers!
Come on you hedonists lol it’s not just about how cute they are. It’s about undoing some of the damage we’ve done to this world.
The damage from this animal's extinction wasn't dangerous. But others have been.
Even if the thylacine could be successfully cloned and released to the wild, would they be able to survive in Australia nowadays as there are now many invasive species such as cane toads
I don't see what a cane toad would have to do with a predator whose extinction has caused issues with its prey
@@scootergrant8683 When will we all see a living thylacine being resurrected and released to the wild of Australia
What if they put them in a park
i thought they were closest to kangaroos
Wh- wha-
I'm so tired of people/scientist ALMOST on the verge of doing something. When are you guys going to actually DO it? Don't make us excited about something that's 10 years away. Let us know when you do it.
dinosaurs are next
Dinosaurs are not possible
No they aren't. No intact dinosaur DNA after hundreds of millions of years.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
it only makes sense to bring back recent animals that were wiped out becuase of humans . its not WISE to bring back ancient species that could become an invasive species competitive with local native species for food
Should focus more on humans
Do it then talk about it.
Why? So it can become extinct a second time?
Don't know how wich animal there going grow it in for one after all it's a marsupial and they need DNA form at lest a few dozen animals to make shore no inbreeding if can bring them back
You can make time travel in the past, take some young small little telasyn puppies 🐆🐅🐯🦁🐈🐱 and come back with in our time actual time. At the best you can make time travel to one Zoo in Australia! Nothing can work easier than time travel clone

Hopefully, we will also clone back the dinosaurs, pterosaurs, mammoths, ground sloths, glyptodonts, smilodons, and terror birds into existence.
Dinosaurs and pterosaurs we couldn't because there's no preserved or in tact DNA. Unless they can genetically engineer a bird to resemble a theropod dinosaur.
Dire Wolf😳
That's impossible given all the DNA for such have been destroyed beyond repair. Moreover, we are only bringing back animals that our earth can support. We can't support the Triceratops.
A thylacine created in the lab, will have very little in common with a thylacine born in the wild in the 1920s. Not only are they looking to the genomes of other animals for comparison to map out the thylacine's genome, but what they will create is an animal in its most basic form, before the 1000's of years of natural instincts. It will not have the knowledge or behavior that they would have had, because all they will know, is what they learn from humans, and humans cannot decide on exactly how they behaved. It may have the appearance of a thylacine, but it won't be a thylacine. But there's also too much evidence that pockets of thylacines still exist, to simply ignore it. There's been sightings, print casts, and interesting photos and videos of what appears to be thylacines. There's reports from Tasmania, Mainland Australia, and Papau New Guinea. They are still out there.
Claimed sightings unfortunately don't and haven't amounted to much and prints can be faked, replicated from taxidermy specimens or illustrations. If bones, fur, urine, or scats were found that would be much more conclusive, as an expert can identify the animal it came from and in the case of bones, when it died.
If you guys need more dna on these pesty dogs we got twelve stuffed trophies here in our ranch in New Mexico
Idk, if it were Israeli it would have been much more plausible. But Australians?Israeli already engineered artificial meat, drinkable desalinated water and other awesome stuff last years.
I am saline.
Might have been possible if they froze the last one its hard to get good dna otherwise. It might beable to reconstruct a thylocine like animal by gene editing a similar species but again you need sufficent dna data to do this.
That's why they have used that other close relative... Already explained in the video
if we want to have dinosaurs back well then make a bio synthetic DNA splicing of both ostriches & the komodo dragons as like a bio synthetic chaos effect creature as well too or maybe extinguish the komodo dragons from tyrannosaurus rexes in stuff
We can't bring back "the dinosaurs" as their remains are all rock. The DNA is gone. Also, our environment is no longer suitable for them.
I understand bringing back animals that are far more recently extinct, like the Tasmanian tigers, but Mammoths, no...
Why not?
@@scootergrant8683 -Because humans cost the extinction of the thylacines, and not that of mammoths, or that of other animals....
@@edwinreveron870 Sources merely speculate it was human hunting. It's even speculated it mostly came from the Dingo. We were responsible for many other animals. The thylacine just had the final nail in the coffin likely to us.
@@scootergrant8683 -A lot of animals from the past became extinct regardless to humans, like mammoths... But others definitely die off because of humans, whether do to hunting them, or introducing species that cost their extinction..
@@edwinreveron870 Indeed.
"Greater human intelligence only breeds greater human era." Opas.
Why do they have to interview unintelligent women including the journalist? What's the point of giving them a voice? To make other interviewees 'shine'? A loss of time.
And be sure to bring back the climate change in EVERY conversation. Hint for the lay persons: It's the only way to get your research funded.
Man will ALWAYS try to be God but will NEVER success.
🥶TRUTH
Not convined they're extinct. Look who told us they are.
Yeah, but look at the clowns who're trying to convince us they're NOT extinct. I know who I'd put my money on!
@@coronetbay8551 What?
Dodos can’t fly.
I'm all for bringing back what humans directly were responsible for making extinct, that wasn't the case for the mammoths
I dont think we can bring back the mammoth anytime soon because the global temperatures are rising and if their brung back then they would die of heat stroke. They have very thick fur meant for climates that were in the ice age
Brought, not brung.
Dude, there are PLENTY cold places left. Thats just silly. Dying of heat stroke in the arctic would be ridiculous.
@@alexcrowder1673 the artic is melting at a faster rate as well as greenlannds ice sheets
@@NienNienNien These arent even going to be 100% mammoth. They will be part asian elephant too, so regardless of that, they will not die of heat stroke. They are planned to be put in Siberia. Which is plenty cold. There are literally youtube channels dedicated to showing off how cold Siberia is.
@@alexcrowder1673 “Which is plenty cold.” I’m sure Antarctica is cold too, ice caps still are melting, so are Siberia’s. Also, that aside, if you know how biology works, you’d know that DNA isn’t even. If they were to reproduce, they could have one that has majority mammoth DNA. It’d be bad, it wouldn’t be cold enough for them.
But we can't cure cancer. Righhhttttt...
tell me about it.... my moms going threw it now and my best friends mom got it 2 im i at the age where everwhere is dying fml im 35 i dont think ill make it to 50
Two completely different things. You might as well have said - we can't send a man to Alpha Centauri...
@@coronetbay8551 Not at all two different things. Cancer is genetics. We've known about cancer for over a hundred years. The problem is there's too much money to be made in treatments. Clinics, physicians, chemo, etc. Pharmaceutical companies figured it out early. No real money in cures.
@@mynameiswrm Wrong. You are generalizing sectors of science. Cancer research is not even in the same universe thats how different it is than cloning.
We can cure some kinds of cancer. Early detection is usually key though sadly
Ahhh yes playing god huh..... Next we can bring back a t rex and just let um run free....
Won't happen
How is a thylacine that's been extinct for about 100 years (and should still be alive, and would heavily benefit the ecosystem if it was) in any way at all comparable to an 8 ton apex predator that has been extinct for 66 million years?
Well that’s 7 months ago so where is the new thylasine🦘
When mammoths walked the earth it was warmer than it is today, thats why they could find food and thats why they got frozen when the climate got colder.
You've got everything backwards!
Try finding the alive ones! Government n colossal pretending to make them. Never were extinct 😂

No, but they havent though.
@@alexcrowder1673 dude they were talking bout this when I was like 10
They talk about every couple years
They've talked about it a lot but never actually tried. Nor can they until the genome is 100% sequenced
The only species they've tried it with so far is the Iberian ibex - a species of mountain goat. It was successful but it died not long after birth from an infection.
Please don’t
Cope
all I can say is "don't mess with nature"
We did that already by wiping out the thylacine in the first place. This is an attempt to redress that injustice...
😈 PURE EVIL DOES EXIST 😈
@@ETERNITY777 Yep and it's all caused by humans... Usually religious ones...
Thylacine are supposed to still be here. They aren't bringing back Dinosaurs mate. Australia's ecosystem is being devastated by non native species with no predators.
It's a natural Australian species. The idea is to reintroduce and rebalance the ecosystems. Thylacine are natural predators to a lot of invasive species in Australia.

Book of Jasher 4 :18
18. And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force
from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took
from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the
mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the
Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its
ways upon earth, all men and all animals.
19. And the Lord said, I will blot out man that I created from the face of the earth, yea from
man to the birds of the air, together with cattle and beasts that are in the field for I
repent that I made them.
