What would you de-extinct?

I would start with all the animals driven to extinction by humans.

If we could include fruits. Then The Gros Michel (or “Big Mike”) Banana. If not then the Dodo bird so we can have more sequoia trees. The Dodo birds droppings help the sequoia trees reproduce.

@ragingloli, actually, one of the scientists involved with the conversation said that very thing, that t Rex was gone because nature mandated it. He said he would only consider resurrection of species driven to extinction by our ancestors.

@RedDeerGuy1, good call.

I’d like to see dodo’s too, although the idea of them germinating tambaloque trees is false.

I’d like to see a California Golden Bear, the Grizzly on the state flag, a distinct species from grizzlies in Montana/Wyoming or from Alaska

We need a new plague.

All the froggies that have lately gone extinct.

@zenvelo Ok I read as much of this link that I could , and you are right. Thanks… another televison show from my past that has bad science. I can’t remember If it was Wild Kingdom or The Nature of Things that pushed this particular brand of bad science?

Neanderthals

Dodos.
I don’t know how big the were. I will look that up. I am curious to know what vocals they had.

I’d resurrect Gigantopithecus blacki.

For bff, or bodyguard?

I don’t take your meaning.

What is your interest in having them revived?

Simply because a 10 ft tall, 1,300 lb ape is fucking cool.

Ooookay, but you feed it.
:-D

@janbb, I miss seeing toadies after rains and evenings.
We used to have at least three kinds of frogs in our pond. It was a rather large pond, and cranes which had lost their way sometimes stopped to rest there. Eggs get carried on their legs to new places.

The passenger pigeon. In 1878, 1 billion were killed.

My gosh! I am aware of their passing, and it was human caused, but I had no idea the numbers involved. I mean, I felt like it was more gradual.

Fuck billed twattypuss

didnt know that was extinct

Oh yes, you may be confusing it with it’s more common cousin the Duck Billed Platypus.
They are very much still alive & kicking.
