The last known Tasmanian tiger (pictured) died in Hobart Zoo in 1936
Tasmanian tigers are extinct (probably), but maybe soon will not be.
The last known one died in 1936 but scientists have got enough DNA from
a 132 year old specimen in good condition that they believe they can
clone one, and they are going to give it a go. There has also been talk
of a Japanese effort to clone a Wooly Mammoth, but as far as I know
that is just talk.
Just a thought. Just because a thing CAN be done, does that mean is SHOULD be done?
