Colossal's Wild Plan to Bring Back the Thylacine - Tasmanian Tiger
Colossal, the company known for trying to revive the mammoth, just gave an update on its efforts to bring back the thylacine, extinct since 1936. The team is almost done sequencing the thylacine genome and expects to wrap it up soon. Interestingly, marsupials might make de-extinction easier thanks to unique biology, and technology for marsupial work is growing fast. Colossal’s also working on artificial wombs to grow marsupial embryos, imagine that! It’s like Jurassic Park, but with more pouches.
