The Tasmanian tiger , Tasmanian wolf, or just Thylacine was said to have went extinct when the last one died in captivity in 1936. Since then, many sightings and claims have been made that they still live in isolations. Until one is captured it will always be considered extinct. Now there is talk of "Jurassic parking" a live thyacine from dna samples that could produce a live specimen in six years. Then what ? Create a breeding population and rerelease in the wild ? Ship them to zoos around the world. The same has been said of the wooly mammoth.
So to mix it up from to endless covid, FJB, and civil war doomer threads, lets talk about this; A) the Thylacine live in isolation and will be rediscovered in the next ten years, or B) we Frankenstein a "version" of the animal and open a whole can of worms. What say you ?

OK, I'll do it: What round for Thylacine?

It's definitely extinct, not sure if they have good DNA samples of thylacine like they do have of woolly mammoths.

I'll take a mutt from that and a Pitbull any day. I don't give a fuck.
 If they are going to save this species someone needs to secure a breeding pair and work on that asap. Dwindling populations in nature usually tend to go a certain way. |

I'd fund this if we could hunt this.
But, since animal huggers don't want people to kill animals, and like good commies never do anything with their money, I ain't paying shit. My hunting fees went to brining back the grizzly bear to conus. And people that didn't do shit tell us we can't hunt them. Almost pretty much the same with bison and big horn. At least those they give out token tags to Democrat fundraisers to as a bribe and to say "see we brought them back so we can pay back our Democrat donors to hunt them!" |

Because humans fuck everything up, everything:
"Scientists" will create a genetic clone. They will breed the clone They will spend billions of dollars bled from the taxpayer along the way. They will decide it is a good idea to release them into the wild. The ones released into the wild will find the last remaining wild ones living in isolation and breed with them. The offspring will have profound genetic defects derived from the clone and they will all die. The Tasmanian Tiger will then be proper extinct. "Scientists" will deny science, claim a resounding success, demand more money for "science" and then move on to fucking up the next thing on their list. |

That video sure does look like one. I hope they are out there or we can bring them back since man is 100% responsible for killing them. I think we actually even killed the last one in captivity. It didn’t even die of old age.

It was hunted to extinction if I remember correctly. Clone it and release it back to its native habitat. Nature finds a way.

Clones wont do well, all cloned from a single set of dna.
Seems as though they would need multiple specimens to get further from clone beyond inbreed. |

I'm all for the cloning of extinct species, even those we didn't cause to be extinct. I'm surprised there are people who don't know what it is. It was drilled into our heads in high school as one of the prime examples of humans driving animals to extinction. Other animals are the dodo, ivory-billed woodpecker, and the baiji dolphin is possibly extinct too. There was also that silly ground parrot in NZ but it seems to have recovered surprisingly. The Amur Leopard, the rarest cat in the world, is also in pretty bad shape. Com'on people. Watch less sports and more BBC. Sir David Attenborough is awesome.

I am hopeful that they are still around, I find it hard to believe that an animal like that could be completely hunted to extinction in a place as sparsely populated as some areas of Australia, plus its not like its food supply was eliminated.

Seems like they were extinct in Australia before the British even started colonizing. Tasmania they survived longer, into modern times. Maybe some have survived on Tasmania, that is their last hope. |

I spent a year living/working/traveling in Oz. Most of that time was in Tassie in a small town in the central highlands.
One of the old timers swore up and down that he saw one in the early 2000's. He was a salty dude and not prone to tall tales, unlike my boss. Given how remote and unsettled that island is, I'd not be surprised if they're still around. |
