I have a lot of respect to Dr. Archer for what he did & still doing...Hope he or other researchers find the way to bring back those fantastic animals to life again.
The Thylacine received Government protection about the day the last one died. It is one of the saddest extinctions ever, as we look at the last tiger, Benjamin, all alone in that terrible enclosure. I wish we could only give them another chance. I am all for the de-extinction of the Thylacine. Sadly, I do not believe, as much as I would like to believe, that there are any in the wild.
Clearly the zoo keepers at the Hobart zoo purposely killed Benjamin, the zoo keepers were upset that the eccentric zoologists wanted to keep this ‘ vermin’ and took it upon themselves to kill it. Who knows if it died of neglect or was bludgeoned.
His philosophy about keeping our animals close is very similar to Steve Irwin's. In Steve's zoo you can meet and touch all sorts of well kept animals. Even a Komodo dragon. And they have an amazing amount of space at Australia zoo. A couple of great Aussies even if his accent is American.
Its not a Philosophy its fact. All animals that lived with us survivied and thrived. Europeans braught Cows Pigs and Chickens to america. And they killed Wolves Cougars possible predators to keep them safe. Cats Dogs and other pets go to vets when sick. IT IS A FACT That all animals we care about enough to keep, we will make them live someway. So keeping pet thylacines would make them thrive no doubt.
I fully agree that the wild is not the wild is not the safest place for these animals, despite how much we like to pretend it is. I too, feel that if Thylacine were allowed to be pets, there would be little doubt they would still exist. People tend to care deeply about the well-being of their own animals. Despite this, we face the same exact problem today. Most "wild" animals are illegal to keep, or breed, despite their increasingly dire circumstances in the wild. This is especially worrisome to me when in comes to Primates, which have the stiffest prohibitions, but yet are absolutely crucial for understanding of our own evolution. I do agree that they should not be removed from the wild, but there is a huge chasm of a difference between that, and actually breeding them in a safer environment. Like Archer mentions in the video, it's a tragedy when just a singe species goes extinct, but a whole unique family of species going extinct is on an entirely different scale. Especially when it comes to those families that are so essential to the understanding of our own history.
BCFishing Cloning is doing pretty well. I did a genetics project on this topic, and they've already successfully cloned an extinct species, the Pyrenean ibex, and it lived, albeit for 10 minutes before it died of lung problems.
I'm not a smart person most would say I'm a complete idot but I'm one one the people who think the Tasmanian tiger still live so if you can clone one it will help narrow down the Roo problems
In both the case of the frog and the thylocine, he's talking about resurrecting a species from a single specimen... is that really possible? How would you get enough genetic diversity for a viable population?
We know these things can be done I don’t understand how it’s ethical to exterminate them and unethical to bring them back ? Backwards logic and backwards thinking from humans started this in the first place. I dream of seeing Carolina parakeet flicks in American chestnut trees one day but looks like it’s gonna possible be my grandchildren. What’s taking so long.
Well Mike Archer you stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could and before you even knew what you had you patterned it and packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunch box and now you're selling it...you're just selling it.
These ecosystems are not balanced any more because these species are gone and no longer performing their previous roles. Noting has evolved to replace them.
The low diversity would definitely impact the species's fitness, but if the population can grow, in time it might recover. A big part of the issue of inbreeding depression isn't just the loss of diversity from the bottleneck, it's the build up of harmful genes that's comes from a prolonged small population. And the larger the population, the more positive mutations can start cropping up, increasing diversity and fitness over time
Hate to say it but this guys just a pep talker. Believe me, I'd love to see one of the Tasmanian Tigers come back. But this guy doesn't have the group, or the ability to really take this on. This is honestly just a publicity stunt to get folks interested in natural sciences and biology.
@@juliegreenslade2878 l am not talking about Religion the damage mankind has done to nature and Jesus will restore everything to what it was in the garden of Eden and that is the ThYLACINE TIGER at the end of the age
he rubbed me the wrong way when he belittled his audience with the "...I hope we all know what a thylacine is by now..." then he annoyed and lost me as an unbiased listener with his "we lost a whole family...I like it back..." remark.
It hasnt even been 90 years since tbe Thylacine went extinct. I am fairly sure that nothing bad would happen to the environment. If anything, it would help bring that niche back.
is the old case of you damn if you do and you damn if don't. and I don't believe the playing God argument, am all for genetic research, my argument is, be careful the pandoras box you open.

I’m watching this in 2019 and it’s making me really hopeful that we’re closer than we were back then

Just watched his documentary, and I hope it's successful
Science is truly amazing, I have much respect for mike archer and his team.
Fun isn’t something one considers when balancing the universe, but this does put a smile on my face.
@the ronin. We played God when we hunted them to death. Some people are trying to balance that mistake.
Amazing! I love the end message of keeping them close to us to prevent extinction
God! allow me to to be alive to see the thylacine back
Bless you for this work. this has been a dream of mine since I was 6 years old. Please bring the thylacine back!
Bringing back the wooly mamooth, sabre tooth tiger, and tasmanian tiger would be my top 3.

Any update?
It's 2021 ... any updates on the Thylacine?
Anybody know how the cloning is doing, and if i can get in touch with Mr.Archer?
BCFishing Cloning is doing pretty well. I did a genetics project on this topic, and they've already successfully cloned an extinct species, the Pyrenean ibex, and it lived, albeit for 10 minutes before it died of lung problems.
Does he mean cell membranes? Animal cells don’t have cell walls...
i wonder if they have made progress now
I'm not a smart person most would say I'm a complete idot but I'm one one the people who think the Tasmanian tiger still live so if you can clone one it will help narrow down the Roo problems
9:22 THAT BOY GOT SOME CHOMPERS
Did anyone else think that Thylacine was pronounced Thigh-low-seen?
No, Thigh-la-seen for me.
@@JohnWayne-86ed ...I hear some people pronouncing it Tha-la-sine......
@@dyer2cycle Lol, that sounds like a jock itch ointment or prescription medication...😂
thigh-la-seen
lol... so literally, just me. i'll see myself out.

Nature doesn't just balance itself like that.

The thylacine is an animal I truly hope may be alive deep in the wilderness
Plz bring back the atlas bear is the biggest and the strongest bear and its in morocco the place that have spinosaurus
Not all extinction are gone. DNA had come from and coninues in other form.
But what is we took them all out of their environment until the trade was moving faster than the animal. Wouldn't we be back at square 2?
How do you figure that, we brought back the grey wolf to Yellowstone and the eco systems fine
This post is 7 years old. Sounded all so positive get nothing but nothing came from all of this ! Why is that ?
He is right, certain people of the past did slaughter away certain species
So any results so far! 🤔🤷🏻♂️
Well Mike Archer you stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could and before you even knew what you had you patterned it and packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunch box and now you're selling it...you're just selling it.
Excellent!
...he sounds like an American or Canadian, rather than an Australian?....
These ecosystems are not balanced any more because these species are gone and no longer performing their previous roles. Noting has evolved to replace them.
I’m confused, how would you avoid the issues of a genetic bottleneck if you only have the DNA of one or maybe at most 3 or 4 Thylacine

That happened to cheetahs, and we still have those.
You didn't do too well in the ecology unit in 9th grade, did you?
Whoever capture this animal will be rich
They look like doggie cats with a possum mouth
Si logro clonar el tilacino 😀

No need to do this as thylacine are still roaming Australia mainland and tassie
when jesus comes back he will restore those animals back from extinction in his thousand year kingdom
What's Jesus got to do with it? Religion has absolutely no place here.
@@juliegreenslade2878 l am not talking about Religion the damage mankind has done to nature and Jesus will restore everything to what it was in the garden of Eden and that is the ThYLACINE TIGER at the end of the age
They can't spell god properly o let get that Tasmania tiger cloned I ll be ready fast to provide private funding
let jurassic park discussions begin!! isn't the 11th commandment "thou shall not fuck with nature"?
this is a more balance discourse on dextinction. the previous speaker on the stage of this TEDxDeExtinction watch?v=7HJLEiNeJDY
fasanating txs
This was like 3 presidents ago?......any tassies yet?
Looks nothing like a tiger lol
they call it a tiger because of its stripes but others call it a Tasmanian Wolf
