A genetics company looking to bring the wooly mammoth back from extinction is also trying to revive the tasmanian tiger.
The Tasmanian tiger once roamed the Australian mainland, Tasmania, and New Guinea. It first appeared around 4 million years ago and was one of the largest living carnivorous marsupials until its extinction. An extinction that was ultimately driven by humankind’s aggression. Now, a genetics company is trying to revive the Tasmania tiger and give it a second chance at life.The Tasmanian tiger roamed its native environment until around 2,000 years ago.
Colossal says it wants to revive the Tasmanian tiger to compensate for the damage that overhunting of the species has caused. And, like its attempts to revive the Wooly Mammoth, it hopes to give the species a new lease on life. The company has taken a heavy focus on what it calls de-extinction—the act of bringing an extinct species back to life.
The creature is very dog-like, resembling the dingos that still roam Australia today. The last known thylacine died in 1936. Now, Colossal wants to revive the Tasmanian tiger. With so many species already facing extinction, it’s a nice plan, and one that could turn out very successful considering how far along genetics have come in recent years.
