Scientists would edit the genomes of the dodo’s closest living relative – the Nicobar pigeon, which contains the pigeon’s full set of DNA – and add some of the most important dodo genes, taken from preserved dodo remains. Then they could put that genome into an egg cell, and let that egg develop into an organism that should look like a dodo.
But that organism wouldn’t be genetically identical to the dodo. Nor would it have any other dodos to teach it how to act like and, well, actually be a dodo.
Colossal hasn’t successfully created any de-extinct creatures yet. Nor have any other scientists, unless you count the team that cloned the Pyrenean ibex in 2003 – but that clone died within minutes. And yet Colossal seems confident, saying it hopes to de-extinct Tasmanian tigers by 2025 and woolly mammoths by 2027. They’re certainly amassing a fortune to make it happen: Since its founding in 2021, Colossal has raised over US$225 million from tech investors, Paris Hilton and even a CIA-backed venture capital firm.
Yes this always felt off like the mosquito in Jurassic park
By the way Barbara or anyone reading this could someone go on you tube find monster quest season 1 episode 11 from history channel full episode it’s called creatures from another dimension episode name. But it’s about flying rods which think are collection of insects saucers other? Bu Courtney got great shot under plane made me think first sighting. Would be great discuss on here and I noob unknown how to post vids 😊
Please and thank you kindly if do, but they talk camera speeds scientific study, FBI missing footage lol. Also todays cameras possibly catch better footage maybe why the mystery back then in 98 99 believe also a bunch happened in Mexico as well and they caught around those water holes but wrote off as insects. But some like flying centipedes 🥰
A few saucers but mostly insects and moths. Was cool to see Bruce Macabee on there he’s great. Also had funny thought about FBI taking VHS tape from airport incident the smoking man made the call before Mulder could get there 😂
