- saberdancer 6y agoMammoths can be found frozen. I expect it's easier to find valid DNA in frozen mammoths then in tasmanian tiger skeletons.
- stubish 6y agoBecause other people are working on the Tasmanian Tiger. Probably best that people in Australia do it too, as it might not be a great fit for the northern arctic ;) https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/thylacine-genome-extinct-tasmanian-tiger-cloning-science https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/thylacine... So many extinct species, difficult to know where to start.
