The thylacine, something some of you have seen in Ratzaroony's avvy (The thing with the huge jaw) was hunter to extinction in 1936. But with technology that has just recently developed, the bones of the thylacine (Trust me, there's a lot of them) are going to be used to recreate it! By 2020, we should be seeing the Tasmanian Tiger in existance again! Plus, next to ferrets, they're my favorite animals! I'm so giddy!

Here's some pics:

Read about that, and transmuting people into diamonds.

I read about this in Popular Science.
I dunno whether it'll be good or bad. Weren't they pretty dangerous to begin with?

I thought they'd need to be hunted again if they were brought back, since they were so dangerous. Or would the sciencey people make them nice?

Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position.
Such a heavy burden now to be "The One".
Born to bear and read to all the details of our ending
To write it down for all the world to see.

They weren't dangerous unless you were dumb enough to corner them. It can also deal with the increasing population of their old prey, which has become a problem.

Pardon my scienctific noobiness, but do you know if the same thing would be possible with fossilized remains of dinosaurs or other extinct animals, such as the dodo bird?

And now we have the quote of the day, from greenl2l: PLONGED!!!

Fossils aren't bones, and DNA is not preserved in the process of fossilization. We'd need misquitos that bit dinosaurs and somehow got fremetically sealed in something, like tree sap. Well, thats how Jurassic Park did it.

Also, one of the pictures says "almost captured in 1946" or something like that. Thats past 1936.

Ah yeah, I've heard a bit about the Tasmanian Tiger in the past. Wasn't aware that they were going to start trying to clone it though, or even that we had advanced to the point at which it was possible to do so.
