The Australian scientist who's bringing back the Tasmanian Tiger from extinction...

[@benmcreynolds8581]

I would be so happy to see a tasmanian tiger comeback to life after man ignorantly hunted it to extinction. I've always been facinated with them, shared my name with the last recorded tiger. They are such important members of their Ecosystem's. It's like when Yellowstone reintroduced wolf's and realized all the positive effects it had on the environment, biodiversity, plant health, stream/river health, fish health, etc. It's actually mind boggling just how important some members of a ecosystem can be. We flourish the more our surroundings flourish.

The extinction of the Tasmanian tiger was caused by the ignorance of humanity. They didn't disappear as the result of evolution. This species had a definitive place in it's native ecosystem and the fact that they were wiped out to make room for species brought into the area for the convenience of humans was extremely unfortunate and unfair. Bring them back and please make sure they are adequately protected.

Professor Pask should look for a possible population in Papua New Guinea. If there are living thylacines there, we could captive breed them and add to their genetic diversity and eventually their repopulation of mainland Australia and Tasmania. That would take decades and bringing back an extinct keystone species would be no small feat.

[@scod3908]

LOL! The Aboriginal people wiped out the Thylacine on mainland Australia when they introduced dogs (dingos). Scientists estimate that within about ~500yrs of introduction of the dingo the thylacine and devils were wiped out along with many other prey species of marsupials etc Dingos are just an ancient breed of introduced dog, and were introduced so recently in terms of evolution that they really don't "belong" in the ecosystem; devils and thylacines "belong"

[@kerrypitt9789]

This move to bring back animals should come back with cautionary rules. First, only bring back animals that man killed to extinction. Others no longer belong here and make sure there is habitat available because #2 these animals should not be brought back for Zoo inventory!! If you need a captive pair, you make sure they have a large natural enclosure and they are treated like guests not manufactured creatures. #3 Nobody hunts or shoots a Tasmanian Tiger without losing everything they own. #4 these are not in order of importance, but before you do anything ask yourself why? Is it a selfish reason? Or do we need it to make Tasmania a better balanced ecosystem, which I believe would happen. Lastly, being able to bring an animal back, is not an excuse for man causing extinction. It does not excuse our attitude towards animals, predators in particular. They could look at White Rhino and Passenger Pigeons as other candidates.

[@ziongite]

I am Australian, but this isn't going to happen. I have never heard of any Australian "scientists" ever doing anything really, heck we don't even design our own naval ships, we can't even built jet etc, we as a country rarely do anything, they have been talking this BS about bringing back the Thylacine now for like 2 decades, and it's just empty talk. Now if it was a proper country trying to do this, like Japan, Germany, USA, heck even China, their scientists would have done it already long ago. But honestly I don't think Australian "scientists" will ever do this, they will just keep talking forever (that's all they seem to ever do). When was the last time an Australian even won a nobel Prize in science? There was a guy that moved here from the USA that won it in 2011, but the last time a proper Australian won one was in 2005. So in the past 18 years an Australian hasn't even won a nobel prize in a science field, where as even Japan has won it 16 times in that same period. Maybe it's time for Australia to stop talking all the time, and actually do something real (but I guess that's too hard).

I don't think that'll happen even in the next few decades, just my opinion though. Though it's too soon to be sure. If Jack Horner succeeds in his little velociraptor experiment, then it could be possible. This atavism gene trial and error could theoretically be done on other, more larger, flightless birds. The only problem is that these hybridized birds will just be a mockery of the real thing.

[@GarbageEPYC]

Oh yeah, there's one more thing to add, there'd be no ecosystem I think, that would fit the tyrannosaurus. If you think one can fit a carnivore as massive as it was then let me know. At least with the velociraptors, they'll fill the niche of coyotes and dogs, but will be threatened most by those same animals if they ever come in contact with one another, so they won't reproduce too much as they are the size of a chicken and weigh much less than the dogs and coyotes. That's if they ever get loose, which could end up happening.
