00:00Scientists push to reverse extinction through DNA and cloning technology.
00:05A woolly mammoth walks across a frozen arctic plain.
00:09Across genetic laboratories, frozen tundra and conservation facilities, scientists attempt
00:15to revive extinct animals using preserved DNA and modern cloning technology.
00:21Researchers extract mammoth DNA from Siberian remains, edit elephant cells in laboratories
00:27and work toward creating cold, resistant mammoth-like hybrids.
00:32A Tasmanian tiger moves through old Australian footage, reminding scientists of the striped
00:37predator hunted to extinction in the early 1900s.
00:41Biologists study preserved Tasmanian tiger specimens, sequence damaged DNA, and experiment
00:48with stem cells to explore possible de-extinction methods.
00:51A dodo bird stands reconstructed in museum displays, while scientists analyze preserved
00:57tissue, and compare genes with modern pigeons and island birds.
01:01Laboratory teams use advanced gene editing tools, attempt to rebuild extinct traits, and
01:07debate whether recreated animals could survive in modern ecosystems.
01:12Conservationists warn that restoring extinct animals would still require protected habitats,
01:17stable food sources, and long-term human support.
01:21From arctic mammoths to vanished island birds, de-extinction research pushes science into territory,
01:27once limited to fiction.
01:29Scientists are no longer just studying extinction, they are trying to reverse it.
01:34They can't get rid of the species of humans like them, but they can do it.
01:35At the end of the end of the day, of the age of one, they can try to do it.
