I tentatively disagree, largely because the thylacine was still alive in the last 100 years and died as a result of human intervention.

well ofcourse not all we want to bring back is extinct only because of us. like mammoths for example. we probably played a part in that. but we didnt cause their extinction. as they where already on the decline before we even entered europe
Well i think we should bring back some species like mammoths if he can just because it would be amazing to bring an extinct ice age animal back. Though it may be too big for an elephant mother to give birth to. So we could do wooly rhinos, or cave lions since we have a perfectly preserved specimen. I feel like cave lions would be the most likely and most helpful since they could theoretically live in warmer climates than mammoths or wooly rhinos.

I can't explain how excited I am to hear this, thylacines have been my favorite extinct species for years. Absolutely over the moon to know one day I could see one in captivity or better yet in its natural habitat!!
That's great news! Literally one of the coolest animals I've ever seen. I always thought those old videos of the last remaining tasmanian tigers in captivity were so sad. I'm honestly stoked and can't wait to see one alive and well!
I did a project in my college this year about colossal and their mammoth project at first I got a bunch of blank stares when I explained that they were trying to resurrect mammoths but after Showing them the science behind it and why the project was being undertaken everyone got more intrigued I ended with saying this company for better or for worse will be a household name in five to ten years looks like I was wrong since they are making leaps and bounds right now I hope they undo our past mistakes and pave a path forward
That photo cracked me up! However, I have seen extremely impressive footage of suspected thylacine(s) as well as extremely believable testimony of sightings/sounds/footprints from rangers in Tasmania. I'm hoping they are still out there, but bringing the population back up into the thousands would be absolutely amazing!
That’s one of my favorite conservation stories!! I’ve seen stories where they’re acting like the reintroduction was bad because the wolves roam far and a few ranchers lost a some animals… Like, yeah it may happen when the predators, that humans decimated, start to get back the land we took from them. 🤦
Except the wolves weren't extinct and then brought back with genetic fuckery. The fact that people aren't even thinking about the actual implications of all this is kind of scary.
@@hyboirds1536 There's also the fact that Thylacines were a doomed species. Rampant inbreeding and a similar disease to what Tasmanian Devils meant that had they not been hunted to extinction in the 1930s they would have died out naturally in the 1980s or early 90s.

Theoretically we can manufacture genetic diversity. We know the building blocks of DNA so we can "simply" insert different genes where needed to create the differences we need. Figuring out what we need where is kind of trial by error, but assuming the host can reproduce quickly it can be done.

I hope they can bring back the Thylacine (or that it’s surviving on New Guinea or something) as it hasn’t even been extinct a hundred years so it would probably fit right back in. The wooly mammoth though has been gone too long unfortunately so I don’t think that’s a good idea…..

Keep us updated on everything you’ve been showing about the Tasmanian Tiger 👌. It’s all been riveting!!!!!!!!
And it couldnt have been done withiut you man, thanks for sharing, and bringing together help from many different communities to make this happen.
I can't wait for the moment for this to blow up in their fucking faces, and I get to put "I told you so" in the comment section.
Man I'm so happy for you!!!
You can tell how much it means to you. It's become a huge part of your online persona!
poachers: lady don’t hurt me
This new world is getting so futuristic the scientist are just playing like it's a video game
Literally just got done watching Animalogics Paleologic episode on the Thylacine and Vice's documentary of Neil. What a night!
Im gonna laugh when a week or 2 after they clone and breed the thylacine, neil waters will find one in the wild and nobody will care. 😆
exactly this
Bro just did an interview with a guy who had pics of one alive
I saw one 1992 on the Wilson's promitory isthmus , many others have pictures and videos but the information is suppressed.
YESSSSSS! I really hope this works, it would be so amazing to see a live thylacine!
This is pretty much the beginning of a sci-fi horror movie. what could go wrong?
This is easy work for them. It will be great.
This is gonna be really good for all the roadkill in Australia, especially Tasmania!
@@Gecko88 I assume that if reintroduction is successful in Tasmania it would be continued in the mainland.
i remember this interview where this guy was so set on it being impossible and as a future scientist feel proud in my beliefs
All I want for Christmas is a Thylacine

GASP..😀 dude,I think there are still some in the wild..but it'll be epic for me to actually get to see one!!
Totally worth the price tag..😏
Am I the only one feeling some real Jeff Goldbloom emotions right now?
I hope they can bring back the Thylacine (or that it’s surviving on New Guinea or something) as it hasn’t even been extinct a hundred years so it would probably fit right back in. The wooly mammoth though has been gone too long unfortunately so I don’t think that’s a good idea…..
Non extinct thylacine living in hiding: WTF y’all gonna stop looking for me?
is that even possible
I don’t think Forrest would be as excited or even promoting it if it wasn’t
They did it in the 90s with a bunch of dinosaurs. They even made a theme park for it. I think it was called Jurassic Land or something.
@@krissuyx yeah jeff goldblum almost died that was crazy
That's fucking awesome I didn't think they could bring back extinct animals this is tremendous news for the animal kingdom
new australia patch notes sound crazy
I’ve been watching this project for a while. Can’t wait to see one!
That is one animal I have always wanted to see in my life....I am hopeful
Ive seen a thylacine plenty. I see one every time time i watch “The Hunter.” Its the best movie ever made. The boss rules.
Why dont they bring back the dodo man, I want my kid to ride that thing before its to late.
bro running lines for victim #1 in Jurassic park
Keep up the work Forest!
We enjoy your show and podcasts.
Thanks man
This sounds exactly like Jurassic Park
This is Jurassic Park all over again.
Cant wait to see the wooly mammoth caged up for our enjoyment
That's so awesome!Rt now,hardly anything else matters to me!That's awesome!!
No need, they're already there, in small numbers, ask the locals. 🐆🐆🐆
When I hear things like that I always think about that song Super Nature from the 70s about scientists doing stuff like this.
He straight up looks and sounds like a kid who found out after the game dad is taking him out for ice cream 😂
When people start thinking the perfect design is flawed!! Good luck to us all!!
My 5 year old wants nothing more than to see one right now so I so hope this succeeds in his lifetime 😭❤️
Can't Fricken Wait To See
How This Plays Out . . .
Animal: *goes extinct*
