@@bacon222 It’s pretty weird but I think they meant that they might be that tall if they rose up on their hind legs? Otherwise we generally measure the “height” of cats at the shoulder
If we bring any animal back, I think the Dodo should be first. We were the main cause of their extinction both directly and indirectly. Apparently the Dodos, who had no natural predators, were unafraid of settlers to the point of trying to play with them. I have an alternate history scenario in my head where Dodos were taken more as pets rather than food, so different breeds of dodo arose, much like how dogs diversified. If some guy didnt decide to skip lunch that day, we couldve had "bird doggos". We were on the verge of greatness, we were THIS close!
If dodos are brought back, Mauritius would have to clean the island up of invasive species before they're reintroduced, which is a monumental task, but it'd do a lot of good for the island's biodiversity
@@elpito9326 It's almost impossible, the island has been urbanised. Cats, rats and mongooses are everywhere. We have off-mainland islets free of invasive species that we use as reserves for endemic endangered species and are off-limit to the public, which would be the best bet.
Sadly it is an illusion that backbreeding really could recreate an extinct animal. They just create knock-offs. But lets appreciate it even so because they preserve some rare and pristine genes while working their projects.
Yeah I was thinking the same about back breading, if you really think about it it’s no different than what people do with dogs, you’re not creating a new species as much as you are just creating a different version of the same animal. This theoretical quagga would need to also behave like a quagga and have some unique DNA, and it seems to be not that unless they somehow make a tightly controlled pack that somehow develops their own unique species?
Well, I'm not sure, but not necessarily? I think what you are essentially doing is breeding legacy genes of the previous species back into prominence. If the genetic profile of the two doggies species is close enough, the slight shift in prevalent genres might actually recreate the actual previous species.
Those are only perceived looks. The behavior and function could be totally different. Caribou and domesticated Reindeer look very similar, except Reindeer are a little smaller. Reindeer were European Caribou that were domesticated 2000 years ago. If Caribou went extinct, that doesn't mean Reindeer from Sweden that are bred to be bigger that are dropped off in Canada would do well, they behave very differently and wouldn't do so well in the wild. Or just because you start breeding big burly people doesn't mean you've created Neandethal kids.

What I think is interesting is we use machine learning and algorithms to model new DNA and then grow it out in a model to see what kind of combinations we come up with.

I’m looking forward to see the Tasmanian Tiger brought back from extinction because they could help control the fox and rabbit populations but the Cain toad would be a problem. One possible suitable maternal host would be the Tasmanian Devil or it’s also another closer relative the Tiger quoll.
i mean tas devil is literally like half the size or less and not even a REMOTELY close body shape to the tas tiger.... did you not see the video? lol could not be further from each other in size and body shape and many other things
The "g" in quagga is pronounced like the "j" in jelapeno but a bit more gutteral. I remember reading a while back that another problem with cloning from adult material is that the clone inherits the length of tellomeres from the original source, greatly reducing it's lifespan. Not sure if they fixed that. Cool video.
It's hard as English doesn't have that flem gggg sound. The khoi called the animal's by the sound they actually make. It brings history alive knowing what an extinct animals might have sounded like.
Well said the mass extinctions of the past were far greater with a 65% during the kp extinction event the permian with a 90% and the paleogene with a 50% plus 100 a day loss yet no scientist says who it was its all guess work with just as many holes as a broken genome.

"You spend your time thinking you can, you'll never cease for a minute to think if you ever should." Those wild bees though, where do I volunteer to bee a caretaker.
12:54 Mammoths went extinct closer to like, 4,000 years ago, not 10,000. Google's first result says 10,000, but, digging a little deeper one quickly finds this number to be inaccurate, while the vast majority of the population was gone by around 8,000 BC, pockets continued to exist in more isolated regions for another 6,000 years. For context, that means Mammoths were still alive when the Pyramids were built.
Your videos have an extreme amount of detailing which can only be achieved by painstaking research. Your hard work literally shows at each minute of the video.
One factor that everyone seems to overlook on extinction / de-extinction is: Bionomes. I think micro extinctions are a thing that affect the macro world. Back breeding is like putting a body kit on a fierro and calling it a Porsche
Ahh there it is~ Some freakishly tall ice-age enthousiast let slip you were working on this ;) Interesting topic. I can't say I'm a fan of the backbreeding approach personally, selecting for appearance doesn't necessarily mean the look-a-like will match the extinct species in terms of behavior too. Selecting for behavior rather than appearance (the other way around) might be the better option if you ask me; There's an ongoing project in Russia with the aim of domesticating foxes - they've reported that their foxes are starting to not just act more like dogs, they are starting to look more and more like them too, even though that's not what the researchers are selecting them for. I think cloning is probably the more promising of the two approaches, especially combined with tools like CRISPR+CAS9. They seem to be focusing exclusively on the nuclear DNA though, which I think might be the reason for the health problems you see in many young cloned animals. Mitochondrial DNA codes for some important stuff... The encoded genes play an important role in metabolism, just to name one.
Reminds me of a story about a futuristic amusement park where dinosaurs are brought to life through advanced cloning techniques. I call it "Billy and the Cloneasaurus."
I have to say that I really enjoy the thoroughness that they go through with these videos. Extinction is a very serious issue, but the issues of reversing extinction can have a huge impact on the ecosystems that have been developed. Personally, I think that back breeding might be a more stable solution... While it might be slow, I think that it is a lesser shock to the ecosystem as a whole.
ow please, migration is a force of evolution, this "invasive" species thing everyone is so afraid of is such a fraud! Cats, foxes, cane toads, scrubbers and rabbits ARE NOT DESTROYING australian ecosystems.. and Neither are Dingos! WE ARE tho when a new species come in an ecosystem, there are frictions at first but we know from looking at the fossil records that in the long run, it tends to produce more biodiversity than it has destroyed.. Give them 50 000 years.. And no, preserving what's left because of the actual biodiversity crisis isn't a good strategy at all on the long run, at least not from them; because unlike us, they can't destroy an ecosystem to the point of killing 99.9% of all life on it (like we do pretty much every time we settle somewhere or want to grow crops somewhere), they'll only kill off 2% at most and YES that's negligible considering how much the ecosystems can gain from their introduction on the long run..
when you breed zebras to look like quaggas, you get exactly that, a zebra that looks like a quagga, it will not be an actual quagga. with genetic engeneering it may end up closer to the real thing but stil...
@@FaustLimbusCompany The reverse-engineering of the zebra was done solely based on coloration. There were other genetic characteristics and adaptations that we were not taken into account. As it stands now, it is simply a zebra with quagga coloration. To make it clearer, there were other things besides coloration that made them quaggas, not just color.
@@semansco You raise a good point. But let's look at it from a different perspective; if were to someone reverse-engineer a dinosaur from a chicken embryo and it is still essentially a chicken but looks like a dinosaur, wouldn't people would still go out of their way to see it and call it a dinosaur? For most people, they'll pay to see something that fulfills their experience. There are people who care a lot for authenticity but there are more people who would simply settle for a substitute as long as it gives the same experience.
@@FaustLimbusCompany Whether people would pay to see such a thing or believe that they are seeing a dinosaur resurrected from the past is their business. The chicken would be a modified chicken, not a dinosaur. That is the subject of this discussion. It was worthwhile science but does not achieve the aim we are after. We are hoping to bring back a species with all of its unique attributes from extinction. We understand that the animal they produced may look like a quagga but is not. Exactly what @bajolzas said above.
@@semansco All I'm saying is that if it might be impossible to bring back a 100% authentic species, people who aren't scientists will still be content with a replica as long as it's convincing.
Mammoths would surly be great in siberia or canada and could help with the tundra plains and tasmanian tigers could also be a great part in their old homes but some others can truely make more harm than good
I think the problem is where would we put them, some of the ecosystems either are different or no longer exist/ don't have the capacity. Like the Dodo, which lived of the Island of Mauritius which only have 4% of the original forest left.
Why didn't the scientists use a elephant DNA to repair damaged mammoth DNA instead of rat since they are more closely related? I'm sure the scientists had their reasons but I cant pin point it.
I think it's our responsibility to bring back animals that we hunted down to extinction in the last 50-100 year. Or at least we should try to prevent species from dying out in the future.
no, not prevent species from dying out.. this is extremely dangerous and very very much not the right way to go about it.. bringing back species is fine but natural extinction need to happen so that new species can form out of competing for the ecological niches left behind.. it's important to think in ecological time, not politic and economic time.; For an invasive species to start producing more biodiversity than it has destroyed takes time, but we know it happens most of the time thanks to the fossil record.. what we need to do isn't prevent extinction but stop destroying the world, stop taking all the land for ourselves and stop controlling ecosystems and managing them to keep them orderly because they aren't supposed to be orderly and it's certainly not by being orderly and managed that they will be able to produce the diversity and strengths they need to produce to fix our mess..

So an AMAZING video. Never stop doing such high-quality content. I love real science and real engineering channels, and am subscribed to Curiosity platform. Let me know any other way to support your impressive effort.
Aside from curiosity, there isn't any point to bringing back a lot of older species that weren't lost recently. Stuff like saber tooth lions and mammoths have little place in the modern environment. These techniques should be used to preserve current species and recent extinctions that would have large impact on their ecosystems or recent extinctions and are directly caused by human activity.

Scientists have reverse engineered dino characteristics into chickens, it was done 12 years ago, but the programme was shut down because of the laws on DNA and cloning.They managed to get surviving chicken embryos, with scales, claws, teeth and a prehensile tail, with 13 joint segments. Scary and thrilling at the same time.
Really really need to bring back tasmanian tigers, the entire ecosystem in australia is not okay and foxes and domestic cats do not hunt the right prey to help recover from all the other invasive and native species being thrown out of whack. A LOT of work needs to be done to fix that area and literally everything wrong with the environment there is our fault. (...Same as anywhere.) It should be our moral duty to use science to protect earth, at least from here forward, and at best to edit undo the last two hundred years. They've been the most tragic years for life on earth in a long time.
This is cool and all but such a lofty and difficult goal. I think humans need to work on the species that are still alive rather than the ones that are gone
My opinion is, don’t try to bring things back. That could really mess with things, especially ones that have been gone for a longer time. Focus on saving what we have left. We’ve already caused so much discord and confusion//changed things enough.

I’m looking forward to see the Tasmanian Tiger brought back from extinction because they could help control the fox and rabbit populations but the Cain toad would be a problem. One possible suitable maternal host would be the Tasmanian Devil or it’s also another closer relative the Tiger quoll.
Actually theres proof they still exist but very few and they are always on the verge of extinction
i mean tas devil is literally like half the size or less and not even a REMOTELY close body shape to the tas tiger.... did you not see the video? lol could not be further from each other in size and body shape and many other things
Actually, the closest genetic relative is the fat tailed dunnart.
@@zeening body shape, size, etc does not matter. What matters is the genetic relationship.
9:10 bruh I was actually happy that they managed to bring them back and that sentence removed my smile off my face :(
The "g" in quagga is pronounced like the "j" in jelapeno but a bit more gutteral.
I remember reading a while back that another problem with cloning from adult material is that the clone inherits the length of tellomeres from the original source, greatly reducing it's lifespan.
Not sure if they fixed that.
Cool video.
So.. Quahha?
@@safron2442 yeah. But the back of your throught almost touches during the "hh"
@@safron2442 like the 'ch' in the name of the composer 'Bach' :)
@@bright_and_free so pronounced similar to Quokka but Quagga instead?
It's hard as English doesn't have that flem gggg sound. The khoi called the animal's by the sound they actually make. It brings history alive knowing what an extinct animals might have sounded like.
humans: 7% species loss
mother nature: You Gotta Pump Those Numbers Up, Those Are Rookie Numbers
Remember, 80% of the world's species are bugs
Well said the mass extinctions of the past were far greater with a 65% during the kp extinction event the permian with a 90% and the paleogene with a 50% plus 100 a day loss yet no scientist says who it was its all guess work with just as many holes as a broken genome.
So technically it's not quagga it's more like breeding a color mutated zebra ?
The first time I heard about Nebula and showed other youtubers about history, science, nature and more with content creators I was already watching, it felt like a movie crossover
I've actually been to one of the Quagga back-breeding centers in South Africa and it felt like a trip to Jurassic Park
"You spend your time thinking you can, you'll never cease for a minute to think if you ever should."
Those wild bees though, where do I volunteer to bee a caretaker.
Any species we killed off, yeah. Any species mother nature killed off? Nah. She had her reasons.

Mammoths went extinct closer to like, 4,000 years ago, not 10,000.
Google's first result says 10,000, but, digging a little deeper one quickly finds this number to be inaccurate, while the vast majority of the population was gone by around 8,000 BC, pockets continued to exist in more isolated regions for another 6,000 years.
For context, that means Mammoths were still alive when the Pyramids were built.
This was an excellent video, thank you for making it ^^
7:03 "NO" "HELP" love it when small bits of humour pop up in interesting scientific presentations.
been waiting for this ever since atlas pro posted pleistocene park
Your videos have an extreme amount of detailing which can only be achieved by painstaking research. Your hard work literally shows at each minute of the video.
you should have mentioned the mammoth step, reviving mammoths and placing them there has a lot of benefits.
You should try to de-extinct plants first.
Like the North American chestnut tree.
Yep 👍❤️
They aren't extinct. None of these methods are necessary. There are multiple strategies for breeding blight resistant trees going on right now.
This channel is still underrated...smh
Bringing an extinct animal back to life.
Step 1 - fucking dont
Imagine disliking these videos
I can't imagine being this pathetic
I think it's the people who like shark fin soup and import ivory.
One factor that everyone seems to overlook on extinction / de-extinction is:
Bionomes.
I think micro extinctions are a thing that affect the macro world.
Back breeding is like putting a body kit on a fierro and calling it a Porsche
Ah, it's finally uploaded. Nice collab with AtlasPro
Ahh there it is~ Some freakishly tall ice-age enthousiast let slip you were working on this ;)
Interesting topic. I can't say I'm a fan of the backbreeding approach personally, selecting for appearance doesn't necessarily mean the look-a-like will match the extinct species in terms of behavior too. Selecting for behavior rather than appearance (the other way around) might be the better option if you ask me; There's an ongoing project in Russia with the aim of domesticating foxes - they've reported that their foxes are starting to not just act more like dogs, they are starting to look more and more like them too, even though that's not what the researchers are selecting them for.
I think cloning is probably the more promising of the two approaches, especially combined with tools like CRISPR+CAS9. They seem to be focusing exclusively on the nuclear DNA though, which I think might be the reason for the health problems you see in many young cloned animals. Mitochondrial DNA codes for some important stuff... The encoded genes play an important role in metabolism, just to name one.

Imagine backbreeding chickens into T-rexes
When you get into a fight, you tell your son " release the T-rex army, son "
I can't see that ever going wrong, nope.
check out the chickenosaurus project. It's ethics are a little questionable but it's really interesting non the less
Chickens arent descendants of tyrannosaurus.
I have to say that I really enjoy the thoroughness that they go through with these videos. Extinction is a very serious issue, but the issues of reversing extinction can have a huge impact on the ecosystems that have been developed. Personally, I think that back breeding might be a more stable solution... While it might be slow, I think that it is a lesser shock to the ecosystem as a whole.
ow please, migration is a force of evolution, this "invasive" species thing everyone is so afraid of is such a fraud!
Cats, foxes, cane toads, scrubbers and rabbits ARE NOT DESTROYING australian ecosystems.. and Neither are Dingos!
WE ARE tho
when a new species come in an ecosystem, there are frictions at first but we know from looking at the fossil records that in the long run, it tends to produce more biodiversity than it has destroyed..
Give them 50 000 years..
And no, preserving what's left because of the actual biodiversity crisis isn't a good strategy at all on the long run, at least not from them; because unlike us, they can't destroy an ecosystem to the point of killing 99.9% of all life on it (like we do pretty much every time we settle somewhere or want to grow crops somewhere), they'll only kill off 2% at most and YES that's negligible considering how much the ecosystems can gain from their introduction on the long run..
Tropical Asian here. Cane toads are an invasive species here too. At least i havent seen ones as big as bullfrogs.
when you breed zebras to look like quaggas, you get exactly that, a zebra that looks like a quagga, it will not be an actual quagga. with genetic engeneering it may end up closer to the real thing but stil...
Quaggas are just a type of Zebra though
@@FaustLimbusCompany The reverse-engineering of the zebra was done solely based on coloration. There were other genetic characteristics and adaptations that we were not taken into account. As it stands now, it is simply a zebra with quagga coloration. To make it clearer, there were other things besides coloration that made them quaggas, not just color.
@@semansco You raise a good point. But let's look at it from a different perspective; if were to someone reverse-engineer a dinosaur from a chicken embryo and it is still essentially a chicken but looks like a dinosaur, wouldn't people would still go out of their way to see it and call it a dinosaur?
For most people, they'll pay to see something that fulfills their experience. There are people who care a lot for authenticity but there are more people who would simply settle for a substitute as long as it gives the same experience.
@@FaustLimbusCompany
Whether people would pay to see such a thing or believe that they are seeing a dinosaur resurrected from the past is their business. The chicken would be a modified chicken, not a dinosaur. That is the subject of this discussion.
It was worthwhile science but does not achieve the aim we are after. We are hoping to bring back a species with all of its unique attributes from extinction.
We understand that the animal they produced may look like a quagga but is not. Exactly what @bajolzas said above.
@@semansco All I'm saying is that if it might be impossible to bring back a 100% authentic species, people who aren't scientists will still be content with a replica as long as it's convincing.
Because we can, we should question"Should we?
I would love it if they brought back the Moa bird in newzealand.
I know Australia really needs something with teeth or claw that would help deal with the wild cat and rabbit over population
I Will Be Very Happy If, Woolly Mammoth and Saber Tooth Will Come Back.
Mammoths would surly be great in siberia or canada and could help with the tundra plains and tasmanian tigers could also be a great part in their old homes but some others can truely make more harm than good
lasaga
I think the problem is where would we put them, some of the ecosystems either are different or no longer exist/ don't have the capacity.
Like the Dodo, which lived of the Island of Mauritius which only have 4% of the original forest left.
Amazing content, keep it up!
Excellent work
I was waiting for this video. Liked right away😁
Maybe we should spend our energy conserving animals that are not yet extinct.
Bro I just want them to bring back dodos, they are just cooler chickens
Your right
It gives me so much more hope that we have a chance to bring back animals from extinction because then extinction won’t be quite the end
"is a jurassic park styled zoo filled with extinct animals actually possible?" no, because they wouldn't be extinct anymore
If smooth could be a person that would be be you ngl
@@solio. lol
Cloning + memory transfer technology = immortality.
Your videos keep on mesmerizing me 🤩 keep up!
Kinda trippy when you consider the fate of the young mammoth that froze is potentially going to revive its entire species.
I am glad I found this channel. Each Vedio just blows my mind.
Why didn't the scientists use a elephant DNA to repair damaged mammoth DNA instead of rat since they are more closely related? I'm sure the scientists had their reasons but I cant pin point it.
I think it's our responsibility to bring back animals that we hunted down to extinction in the last 50-100 year.
Or at least we should try to prevent species from dying out in the future.
no, not prevent species from dying out.. this is extremely dangerous and very very much not the right way to go about it..
bringing back species is fine but natural extinction need to happen so that new species can form out of competing for the ecological niches left behind..
it's important to think in ecological time, not politic and economic time.;
For an invasive species to start producing more biodiversity than it has destroyed takes time, but we know it happens most of the time thanks to the fossil record..
what we need to do isn't prevent extinction but stop destroying the world, stop taking all the land for ourselves and stop controlling ecosystems and managing them to keep them orderly because they aren't supposed to be orderly and it's certainly not by being orderly and managed that they will be able to produce the diversity and strengths they need to produce to fix our mess..

Love your work ma'am!
So, "We are so busy asking if we could, that we never stopped to ask if we should" - the guy from Thor ragnorok I think.
Man I was waiting this video
I forgot that mice and elephants are related. I wondered why they didnt use an elephant egg for the mammoth but mice eggs are probably much more available and certainly more studied.
This was the video I subscribed for!
Anyone know what music is playing after 11:20? I do recognize it but am unable to identify it.
So an AMAZING video. Never stop doing such high-quality content. I love real science and real engineering channels, and am subscribed to Curiosity platform.
Let me know any other way to support your impressive effort.
Aside from curiosity, there isn't any point to bringing back a lot of older species that weren't lost recently. Stuff like saber tooth lions and mammoths have little place in the modern environment. These techniques should be used to preserve current species and recent extinctions that would have large impact on their ecosystems or recent extinctions and are directly caused by human activity.
Nice video👍

no shoutout to that atlas channel that shouted you out for this vid?
Scientists have reverse engineered dino characteristics into chickens, it was done 12 years ago, but the programme was shut down because of the laws on DNA and cloning.They managed to get surviving chicken embryos, with scales, claws, teeth and a prehensile tail, with 13 joint segments. Scary and thrilling at the same time.
Really really need to bring back tasmanian tigers, the entire ecosystem in australia is not okay and foxes and domestic cats do not hunt the right prey to help recover from all the other invasive and native species being thrown out of whack. A LOT of work needs to be done to fix that area and literally everything wrong with the environment there is our fault. (...Same as anywhere.) It should be our moral duty to use science to protect earth, at least from here forward, and at best to edit undo the last two hundred years. They've been the most tragic years for life on earth in a long time.
This is cool and all but such a lofty and difficult goal. I think humans need to work on the species that are still alive rather than the ones that are gone
Now I want to see a mouse/ Mammoth abomination lol.
it would be afraid of itself lmao
Does the crispr method only produce hybrids ? Can we ressurect an extinct genus with these technologies ?
You can never bring back the exact animal, only a "hybrid" or an ecological proxy. There are some interesting scholarly articles on the subject
Great content!
Ok they failed with the mouse but why not try an elephant it seems like their DNA would be better at repairing damaged mammoth DNA
My opinion is, don’t try to bring things back. That could really mess with things, especially ones that have been gone for a longer time. Focus on saving what we have left. We’ve already caused so much discord and confusion//changed things enough.
There goes my hope for a T-Rex petting zoo in my lifetime :(
