some footage taken a the Pleistocene Park, Cherskiy, Yakutia (Sakha), Siberia, Russia. The park is set to alter the tundra/taiga habitat into Pleistocene grasslands. See www.pleistocene... for details
We could build a Pleistocene park in North America. In Alaska, we could purchase farmland and introduce in a large fenced area. Musk ox, bison, saiga antelope, Bactrian camels, llamas, alpacas and eventually captive tigers.
It is an awesome idea that has been weighing heavy on my heart lately. North America use to have “Elephants”, Camels, and even lions, with carful planning maga Fauna could integrate well with our ecology . We just need funds and a educated public that would be supportive.
African Lions can survive in the cold so it's a good idea to add them to Pleistocene Park. But in order to do that, there can't be a small amount of herbivores. Same goes when they add Siberian Tigers or any other carnivores. Spotted Hyenas and Cheetahs can survive in the cold. They could also introduce pronghorn antelopes and cougars. Tundra Wolves, Sables, Red Foxes, Arctic Foxes, Eurasian Lynxes, Wolverines, and Eurasian Brown Bears are already in the park by the way.
Well, what you expect. Slow internet connections (via sat), exuberant prices for everything, plus duties of the stuff (either they go to a nearest car dealer, which is c. 2000 km away, or ordering food for summer (c. 1200 km away, or fighting with bears, or driving reindeer). Or find any up-to-date web site in 1000 km radius from Cherskiy. It is Siberia. I-phone is as good as paperweight here.
Sabertooth cats were exclusive to the Americas, so it wouldn't make sense to introduce them there. Homotherium however did live across northern Eurasia, they were basically like cheetahs crossed with sabertooth cats.
In june 2017,10 domestic yaks where reintroduced and started breeding.Now they are 13 In october 2018 , Kalykian cattle was reintroduced.They are 10 adults and 5 Sub adults and 4 babies.
So what are the plans then? And how successful have things been so far? Do the animals like the climate. I know the musk ox would because they are naturally found that north (at least here in Canada).

I'd love to see how they figure out how to bring back extinct species (or at least something that looks like them.) This place could become a real life version of Jurassic Park.
No, it won't: Jurassic Park was designed as a money-making attraction, whereas the Pleistocene Park is set up to provide crucial environmental services. The only sustainable project to the date which potentially can mitigate the global warming.
I didn't mean completely selling out and converting it into a tourist destination, I mean like a full, living recreation of an ancient world with previously extinct organisms. Is that even possible with our current level of deextinction technology?
Actually, come to think of it, the idea of Jurassic Park seems ridiculous. If a group of scientists, independently of anyone else, managed to bring back a living extinct animal, the last thing it would be used for is a theme park attraction.
What you are saying here is truly INSPIRATIONAL. Your cause is noble, untainted by commercial ventures. I will find a way to help fund this, but I do not do my banking or donating on line. Do you have a physical address that one can write to? I have a hundred questions about this marvelous concept; "Pleistocene Park."
Dizem os críticos que seria mais ético investir todo esse recurso financeiro e humano na conservação de especies ameaçadas,seja como for todo o aprendizado na área da clonagem de animais extintos pode em algum momento futuro ser útil para as especies que hoje se encontram em estado critico. Por que não devolver o Dodo em reservas na sua ilha natal,por que não trazer de volta o Tilacino ao seu habitat,que ainda esta la?
And it's not big-city-on-the-Transsiberian -Siberia. It's SIBERIA. :) Do you know if any documentaries have been made about the park (apart from this video)? I realize the website run by the people working there and new youtube clips aren't going to be coming often, but I want to know more :)
I wonder if, once the animals have done their job flattening the trees, brush, and mosses, whether the topsoil will dry out sufficiently to reduce the number of mosquitos??

Yes we could. And not only in Alaska. Let's raise some money and re-wild some areas in the corn belt.
Some folks are already discussing the possibility. Look up "buffalo commons" for more details.
Why would you introduce species that never did live there
It is an awesome idea that has been weighing heavy on my heart lately. North America use to have “Elephants”, Camels, and even lions, with carful planning maga Fauna could integrate well with our ecology . We just need funds and a educated public that would be supportive.
Probably not the tigers because they might escape and attack livestock,dogs and small children and make mom's too scared to go outside
Needs more mammoth
Sure. As soon as the geneticists make one, we are ready to put it to work.
Lmao I feel the same
No
You mean Asian elephants with Fur?

Sergey. Can i ask if there are plans to introduce Amur(Siberian) tigers into the park?
I am not Sergey, but did ask Sergey this question (recently). The answer is YES (sometime(.
Eugene Potapov how does he fund all this? he must be realy rich or something? transporting animals and building fences has to be expensiv.
He is rich with thoughts, but you can make a donation via www.pleistocenepark.ru/en/contacts/ to help with fences/animals...
Technodromo ? Es el sonido de las tortugas ninjas. Jaja

Needs more prehistoric animals like cave lions, mammoths, wholy rhinos, cave bears and of course saberthooth cats
Sabertooth cats were exclusive to the Americas, so it wouldn't make sense to introduce them there. Homotherium however did live across northern Eurasia, they were basically like cheetahs crossed with sabertooth cats.
Why do we fight and have all these wars when the human endeavor could be devoted to this.
Any new info on this?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleistocene_Park
They're still running, a second park is being set up in European Russia, the new park already has horses and will soon be receiving bison.
In june 2017,10 domestic yaks where reintroduced and started breeding.Now they are 13
In october 2018 , Kalykian cattle was reintroduced.They are 10 adults and 5 Sub adults and 4 babies.
only as a friend
🤜🤛
Whould be possible to create an elephant/mammoth hybrid.
one day, one day.....
Hooray for the russian people...science at its best!
Are you, the up-loader, involved in this project?
that fly noise
So what are the plans then? And how successful have things been so far? Do the animals like the climate. I know the musk ox would because they are naturally found that north (at least here in Canada).
but that site hasn't been updated in almost a year! I would love to read, and see, more about how things are going.

I have a feeling that cloning the mammoth is very unlikely. How likely is it?
It wouldn't be true mammoth
Just Asian elephant that hopefully cold-resistant
Молодцы! Ваша работа действительно интересна. Успеха вам.
Thanks a million! :) Consider yourself part of the course and make a donation www.pleistocenepark.ru/en/contacts/
Points to the Russians
Yes, I do know the plans. No new species for introductionr, as far as I know
Good.

How do u deal with mosquitoes there??
use lots of Deet. That is the only solution.

There are no cloning at the Pleistocene park. Check out the mission statement (manifest) at the web site.
all news here www_pleistocenepark_ru/en/ just change underscores to dots
Do you know of any further plans? Like new species for introduction?
Wonderfull work!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
And it's not big-city-on-the-Transsiberian -Siberia. It's SIBERIA. :)
Do you know if any documentaries have been made about the park (apart from this video)? I realize the website run by the people working there and new youtube clips aren't going to be coming often, but I want to know more :)
You can check their Facebook who is everytime active
I can just hear the mosquitoes bet they're everywhere
yes they are... everywhere!
Sorry, have not heard about special documentaries. But many small clips in various programs.
This is epic. Bringing back extinct animals.... science has come a long way :)
arghh..... muskito's!
I wonder if, once the animals have done their job flattening the trees, brush, and mosses, whether the topsoil will dry out sufficiently to reduce the number of mosquitos??
Not much. The numbers will be still high, thanks to the presence of numerous lakes.
That's too bad! They REALLY are horrific!
More mammoths please
one day, one day....
what the hell? just pulling mammoth parts out of a lake like its nothing
Actually, it is a river.
How many animals from each species are there now?
Horse:35(started breeding)
Moose:17(Sub adults)
Reindeer:30
Domestic Yak:13(the started breeding)
Kalykian cattle:19
Sheep:30(started breeding)
European bison/wisent:1(there was 5 but the only male survived,the 4 females died of acclimatisation)
Musk ox:3(only males)
@@DholeCC17 American bison?
@@doubleoduck3405 22
European (wisent) and from 2017 American too.
