What Animals Are Scientists Trying To Bring Back

Scientists want to bring them back through selective breeding of cattle species that carry some.

What animals are scientists trying to bring back. While that is happening on one side of the world on the other scientists are. If playback doesnt begin shortly try restarting your device. For example the extinct aurochs the ancestor of all modern cattle are being brought back through the Tauros Programme.

Can the world live the Ice Age again- all four parts that is. And the heath hen a stumpy avian wallflower that lived in the scrubby plains of New England. Does he have his story straight or is he mixing fact and.

The aurochs is an ancestor of domestic cattle that lived throughout Europe Asia and North Africa. With backbreeding scientists use a living species that is genetically similar to the extinct species and selectively breed it for the traits of the now-extinct species. Scientists could bring them back to life by targeting and replacing specific genomic sequences in a closely-related living species.

By selectively breeding existing cattle that closely resemble the auroch genetically scientists hope to achieve an animal that closely matches Europes original wild auroch. Genetic engineering depends on existing DNA samples of the extinct species. The aurochs is an ancestor of domestic cattle that lived throughout Europe Asia and North Africa.
