You do not need to read the entire article and you definitely don't need to read the book. Look in the book review; I just want you to define de-extinction. Then I want you to think of a species that you would bring back from extinction. Try and pick an extinct species that has not been picked by one of your classmates. What species would you bring back from extinction? Why? Where would you think would be the best place for this species to live in the current day? What niche would it occupy in that ecosystem? Do you think it would endanger other species living in that area?
De-extinction. Creating organisms that can fill vacant ecological roles. If I could bring back any species I would bring back is the Caspian Tiger because like most animals it was hunted and lost its habitat. A good place for the Caspian Tiger, I think, would be the United States because we currently have an invasive species of wild pigs. Since Caspian Tigers diet consisted of wild pigs why not de-extinct this Tiger to help bring the number of wild pigs down. The Caspian Tiger would occupy the top trophic level in this ecosystem because it would be the biggest predator. It would probably endanger deer in the United States and possibly livestock, such as cows.
ReplyDeleteTigers would be the best to bring just because of how cool they are. They are definitely one of the most majestic animals EVER
DeleteThat sounds like a pretty good idea, especially about the pigs! And who wouldn't want to help repopulate the tiger population? Tigers are amazing!
DeleteTigers are sooo interesting!! I loved reading about this tiger because I have always loved tigers!
DeleteI agree that bring back a Caspian Tiger would be very cool but would definitely cause many issues by just roaming around and can potentially endanger other species in the area. I feel that this tiger living throughout the United States could be dangerous for even random pedestrians throughout the country.
DeleteI agree that caspian Tigers should be brought back because they are so beautiful and amazing creatures
DeleteIt would be awesome to see the Tiger back into this world, but, take into consideration that the Tiger would win in a fight, just saying. Still awesome though.
DeleteI agree with you Emily. I think the Tigers should be saved and they deserve to come back into this world.
DeleteDe-extinction, resurrection biology, or species revivalism is the process of creating an organism, which is a member of or resembles an extinct species, or a breeding population of such organisms. I would like to help the Bengal tiger not go extinct. I just love how big and majestic they are. I would want this tiger to roam and be free. The tigers prey would be to eat a unwanted predator. It would endanger the species it eats because there would be a sudden surge in Bengal tigers
ReplyDeleteIt would be so cool to see a Bengal tiger in person. I do agree that it would disrupt the ecosystem, which could lead to many big problems in the future.
DeleteI agree if all the extinct tiger species could come back would be very cool. Tigers are a cool species and it is such a tragedy that some had to die off.
DeleteI kinda agree, seeing extinct species will be cool; however, we don't know how they would react to us, especially in the wild.
DeleteI agree that having a tiger species come back would be very cool and majestic.
DeleteI have to agree. With all of the poaching going on, it definitely seems like a tiger species will go extinct, and if that happens, bringing them back would be great, if not only to stabilize the ecosystem.
DeleteThe process of de-extinction is when an organism is created that resembles or is a member of an extinct species. If I could bring back an extinct species I would bring back the Quagga. The Quagga was a relative of the zebra and literally looks like a mix of a deer and zebra! I would bring this animal back because they are very unique looking and would be awesome to see one in nature! I think that this species would best to live in the plains of South Africa. And no, I don’t think the Quagga would endanger other species living in the area. From what I’ve read about the Quagga, they seem pretty harmless and very similar to zebras.
ReplyDeleteI would totally second that idea, the Quagga would be a unique sight to see and its name alone is interesting. It's kind of disappointing that we can't ever see extinct species in person because so many of them are fascinating, but at the same time there are still hundreds of species we haven't even discovered yet. Life really is something!
DeleteAva, I've never heard of this animal before. I looked it up and it's so unique-looking. It's hard to believe those ever existed! Maybe one day in the future, a similar species will be created, like the liger.
DeleteI really like the animal you picked! I have never heard of it and it sounds very interesting.
DeleteI have never heard of this animal, all the better to bring it back then. Being able to bring back animals would give people in the future a chance to enjoy them as well.
DeleteDe-extinction is creating organisms that can fill vacant ecological roles. I would like to bring back the dodo bird because so little is known of it, so it would be interesting to examine its behavior and learn more about it. The best place for this bird to live would be on an island in the Indian Ocean, and it would be both a predator and prey in the food chain. It would not endanger other species in the area since it supposedly isn't an aggressive eater and could easily fit in with other birds indigenous to the area.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it would be cool to bring back the Dodo bird. I've always been curios of what they truly look like.
DeleteIn response to Emma, I agree that a species we should bring back is the dodo bird. The dodo bird looks really cool and would be an awesome creature to have again because, like you said, there is little known about the dodo bird.
DeleteDe-extinction is the resurrection of creatures that can't be found anymore on earth. If I could bring back any animal, I would bring back the woolly mammoth because they have always amazed me! They are so big, yet they have so much elegance, it's unreal! I think the best place for this animal to live would be somewhere with wide open space, where they can live freely with limited restrictions. Maybe somewhere in the North Pole like Russia, I'm not too sure! The niche that the woolly mammoth would take on is similar to an elephant. They could possibly store water in their trunks and their huge tusks can help them scare off predators, but with their size, there aren't too many predators. I do think that this animal could possibly endanger other species due to the lack of predators it could come encounter with.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be really cool to bring the Great Woolly Mammoth back, as they are such big and beautiful creatures. I agree with you that they definitely would need open space, as when they died out, it was 1650 B.C. !
DeleteI really like your idea of bring back the Woolly Mammoth. I agree that they wouldn't endanger any other species too.
DeleteI would love to see how the Woolly Mammoth would interact with other organisms today. Partly because they have been extinct for so long. Since they don't have many predators, that could lead to over population.
DeleteI think it would be interesting to see what would happen if the Wolly Mammoth was brought back, but I think it could really tamper with the natural flow of the ecosystem it is placed in.
DeleteI think it would be very interesting to see how a woolly mammoth would function in modern day society after being extinct for such a long time.
DeleteDe-extinction is a species revivalism or creating an organism that is part of a species which is extinct. If I could bring back one extinct animal it would be the stegosaurus. I would bring this animal back because they are herbivores so they are no harm to humans and because they are very cool looking. I feel the best place for this species to live is in the forest or jungle because there is plenty of food supply to support his diet. The stegosaurus would definitely be at the top of the food chain because it is a huge animal and its role would be eat the primary producers. I think this species would be of no harm to other animals unless it has no food but that is not a problem while living in a forest.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it would be amazing to see something like a Stegosauraus, although I'm not sure how well it would react with it's environment.
DeleteI think it would be cool to bring back the stegosaurus and I also don't think they would endanger other animals either.
DeleteRecreating what has already been lost, redefining the definition of death. Both mean the same thing as de-extinction. It would be hard to choose only one species to bring back, as you don't know what would happen when they come back, as it could turn into the great Australian rabbit disaster all over again. But if I had to, I would choose the Neapolitan Horse. This horse was recently deemed extinct after the selective breeding stopped, which means that once the wars stopped In Italy, they stopped breeding the horse. This horse is very strong and used for war because of their high muscle density and height. I would choose this horse because it was a strong breed that helped with lots of fighters and was used for races. The best place for the Neapolitan horse would be in Italy, where it came from. The horse would not endanger any other populations because it didn't before it was extinct, even in 1572, when they had reached their peak in population.
ReplyDeleteI agree that bringing back the Neapolitan horse would be great. They have versatile uses and body structures and they were widely popular for their strength and beauty. I believe if they were brought back they would be at high demand because of their usage in riding, military, and transportation and in with those general things, they would be great for showings, police work, breeding, and other attractions in which their great qualities could be enhanced.
DeleteDe-extinction. The resurrection biology, or species revivalism is the process of creating an organism, which is a member of or resembles an extinct species, or a breeding population of such organisms. If it were up to me, I would try to keep all elephants from extinction. I think elephants are some of the most adorable and beautiful animals in the world, and to think that they may all be extinct by 2020 really makes me sad. Ideally the best place for the elephants would be in the African Savanna roaming free, safe from poachers. I don’t think the elephants would be a threat to their ecosystem because they are herbivores and not aggressive towards other species. The only issue they may cause is a lack of water in the ecosystem.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you, Maria. Elephants arent really dangerous unless you charge at them, which smart people won't do.
DeleteI agree that it's so sad, and it's all due to human poachers. They are so cute and they are very smart and emotional.

ReplyDeleteThe actual denotation of de-extinction is creating organisms that can fill vacant ecological roles, in other words, re creating an extinct species to the best of sciences ability so that it interacts with the environment the same way as the original species. I dont think we need to bring back any species, I think if they went extinct there must have been a reason behind it and that God must've intended so. However, since one may argue that humans were the cause of many extinctions I would pick any of the Giant Galapagos Tortoise subspecies. Besides being frankly adorable and super intriguing, the tortoise does not propose any disadvantages. Additionally it may be easier for scientists to bring back since the last of its species died off very recently and also because there are so many tortoise species with large similarities with it. Also because the species that are similar to it are always extremely endangered and it would be awesome to see their population grow. Tortoises have always fascinated me, they are like earths animal version of redwood trees as they can live past 100 years if healthy. The best place to relocate the tortoise would be back where they came from in the Galapagos Islands with the relating subspecies. Because their extinction was so recent and didn't present any harm to their ecosystem before, they wouldn't interfere with the current ecosystem.

De-extinction is creating organisms that can fill vacant ecological roles. If I could choose one species to bring back from extinction, I would choose the Yangtze River Dolphin because I am personally a dolphin lover and even though most dolphins look alike, this one is different in it’s own unique way. I think the best place for this species to live is any oceans that are deep and have a lots of room to move around because the Yangtze River Dolphin is frightened easily of boats and cruises. The Yangtze River Dolphin may endanger different types of fish because that is the only food they prey on.
ReplyDeleteI also really like dolphins too, so that would be cool for that species to come back again! And they would probably love to live in a deep ocean since you said they are easily frightened by boats and cruises.
DeleteI agree that the Yangtze River Dolphin would be amazing to bring back from extinction because they are such a unique and adorable dolphin!
DeleteDe-extinction is the process of creating an organism that resembles an extinct species. If I could bring a species back from extinction I would bring back a Carolina Parakeet because it’s the only parrot species native to the eastern United States. This brightly colored bird feeds on fruit, seeds, grain and corn. I think these birds are harmless and deserve another chance to come back and avoid their deaths from the use of their feathers for ladies hats in the early 1900. Currently the best location for these birds would be a forest in Eastern United States. In my opinion, I don’t think that the Carolina Parakeet is any danger to other species in this area because it feeds on fruit, seeds, grain and corn. The only problem that may occur is the fact that these bird can live in the fields of farmers eating their growing crops. This would aggravate farmers but, they’re not putting any animals in danger because of this. Overall, I think that the Carolina Parakeet should brought back from extinction because they aren't harmful and are beautiful birds we can have her in the United States.
ReplyDeleteI think it is really sad that humans caused the Carolina Parakeet to go extinct. From what I found it seems like people over hunt animals often which is a main reason so many animals are extinct.
DeleteThe way that some animals are treated is very sad. so many animals seem to go extinct because people are hunting them.
DeleteDe-Extinction is creating a living organism that had died out. This, however, could have consequences because you don't know what could come out of recreating a species. One of the biggest reasons why these species didn't last is because the world had began to change, not fitting in this species anymore. Would they even last in modern day society? We have become a more industrial based world that couldn't support such big prehistoric creatures. We have already begun to struggle with overpopulation, and I believe that de-extinction is something that shouldn't be used unless it is to produce a species that has great impact on our lives.
ReplyDeleteYou're totally right! De-Extinction could lead to many bad things for species that are still around.
Deletede-extinction is bringing back a species that had previously gone extinct. If I could bring back an extinct species, i would bring back the tasmanian tiger. I feel the best habitat for them would be in the savannah along with the lions and other tigers.
ReplyDeleteIn response to Kaylie, I also feel that bringing they had gone extinct for a reason, and maybe it should stay that way.
In a nutshell, de-extinction is creating organisms with similar traits or niches to fill the vacant roles in ecosystems left by extinct species. If I could bring one extinct species back, I would choose the Thylacine, otherwise known as the Tasmanian Tiger. It used to be the largest known marsupial and was one of only two marsupials to have a pouch in both sexes. It's said to be rather shy and nocturnal, and I would bring it back simply because it's a pretty neat animal. It would be logical for the Thylacine to return to its original habitat in Tasmania and other regions of Australia. They would fit in with ecosystems there by eating other animals like possums and wallabies, keeping control of their populations. The Thylacine is actually a candidate for future cloning because it's a recent extinction and there are several well preserved specimens. Here's the link to live footage of the Thylacines, taken in 1911 at the London Zoo.
ReplyDeletehttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/8/80/Thylacine_footage_compilation.ogv/Thylacine_footage_compilation.ogv.360p.webm
I agree, the Tasmanian tiger seems really neat! The fact that they would be able to help control their own population is a bonus also.
DeleteThat seems like a very cool animal to bring back to life. I've never heard of it before and it was interesting to find out that it had a pouch.
DeleteI think it would be great to be able to bring back the Tasmanian tiger especially because tigers right now are at a risk of going extinct.
DeleteDe extinction is when an organism that closely resembles an extinct species is created. If I could bring back one extinct species it would be the Japanese Sea Lion. It went extinct in the 1970s because it was over hunted by humans and a lot died after being captured and used in circuses. Humans were the reason the Japanese Sea Lions died so they would deserve to come back. The best place for them to live would be on sandy beaches near the ocean. They could live in Japan as they once did as long as it was illegal to hunt or capture them. The sea lions would not harm any other creatures because as long as the fish population remained stable they would have plenty of food.
ReplyDeleteIf the seals feed on the fish, don't they harm the fish?
DeleteJapanese Sea Lions ate a variety of fish off the coast of Japan. They helped keep the fish population stable because if the fish population got too high the fish would run out of food, like plants which would do more harm to the entire ecosystem. Also, Sea Lions are usually eaten by sharks which would keep the sharks full. No real threats to the environment would be presented by a comeback by the Japanese Sea Lion, in fact, it improve the health of the surrounding ecosystem.
DeleteBut I’m sure the fish appreciate your concern over their well being.
This sea lion is extinct right now, and both the fish and the sharks are still doing fine.
DeleteDe-extinction - creating organisms that can fill others’ roles or new roles in nature. I’d bring the Irish Elk back from extinction. Misnamed, this creature was neither Irish nor an elk. Instead, it was the largest deer that lived. It was seven feet tall with the antlers being up to twelve feet long and weighing around 90 lbs. I would bring it back because it was a beautiful, magnificent animal. North America definitely would not be a suitable habitat for this mammal; it would live in northern Canada and northern Russia. The Irish Elk would probably be the second trophic level, as it is an herbivore and would be prey. I don’t think it would endanger animal species, just plant species because it would need to consume many pounds of vegetation a day to maintain its weight.
ReplyDeleteDe-extinction is creating organisms to fill vacant ecological roles. If I could, I would bring back the Japanese sea lion because they were made extinct in a horrible way. They were hunted for their skin, bones, and fat. 3,000 were killed every year by Japan until the second World War killed the rest of them. If they were to come back, I wouldn't want them by Japan in case they try to kill them again, I might put them in Korea or maybe Greenland? I thin if we left the seals alone, they would gain back their population that humans took away. They would be eaten by sharks to maintain the population so it doesn't get out of hand, and they could bring tourists to what ever country they are in. I think it would be prey to sharks, but predator to fish. I think that they won't really do any damage, I mean their relatives, the California sea lions, don't do much damage.
ReplyDeleteI think that brining the Japanese sea lion is cool. The environment that you chose I think was very good because it has a nice balance for the different species.
DeleteI think it would be interesting to bring back the Japanese Sea Lion, though my worry would be that it would cause them to be hunted yet again for their skin, bones, and fat, even if they were raised in captivity.
DeleteWith the seals, or just de-extinction in general, we would have to recreate a decent number of them because otherwise they'll just go extinct again. For example, if we release two sea lions into the wild, sharks will not only keep the population in check, but wipe the population completely by either eating the both or just the one. Real Me: *tear* that's sad doe.
Deletede-extinction is the process of creating an organism, which is a member of or resembles an extinct species, or a breeding population of such organisms. And if I could bring back any species I would bring back the american lion because I never knew we had lions in america and I think it would be it bit more scarier to go outside. The best place for them to live would be in hot humid climates because that is where they were originally from. It would occupy a high niche because it is the biggest species of cat to ever exist and could kill anything below or at its size. It would endanger probably other cat species since these cats would occupy a lot more space they would leave less room for the other ones.
ReplyDeleteDe-extinction means to create organisms that can fill vacant roles. If I could bring any species back from extinction, I would choose the Golden Toad, which became extinct due to pollution, global warming, and fungial skin infections. I would bring this species back because it just seems really neat to me and it's one of the "brightest species to disappear". I think the best place to place this species is somewhere were there's lower risks of recieving the symptoms it previously did before going extinct. I don't think it would cause any harm to the other species occupying that area.
ReplyDeleteDe-extinction is resurrection biology, or creating a species that has already been extinct. If I were to bring back a species that has been extinct I would bring back the Woolly Rhinoceros. I think it would be really cool to bring this species back because it would be cool o see running in The wild. The best place for this animal o love today would be in Asia or North Africa. According to research this has been where most of the fossils have been found. Their niche would be eating things like grass and seeds. They are like woolly mammoths who were vegetarians. In the case they wouldn't harm the ecosystem. It's easier to have grass grow than for animals to reproduce.
ReplyDeleteDe extinction is resurrection biology, or species revivalism is the process of creating an organism, which is a member of or resembles an extinct species, or a breeding population of such organisms. If I could bring back one extinct species, I would choose the Golden toad. I dont know when exactly it became extinct, but no one has seen a golden toad since 1989. The Golden toad was found in many places in Costa Rica. the toad unfortunately became extinct due to pollution and global warming. If I could bring them back, they would probably go back to Costa Rica, living in the abundant trees and plants there. I would bring it back because amphibians are one of the oldest group of creatures to live on earth, so it is a shame for them to be disappearing now after being here for so long. It only eats insects so it would only endanger that type of creature on earth. Overall, the brightly colored and long-lived golden toad would be my choice of a species to bring back from extinction.
ReplyDeleteDe-extinction is creating new species to fill a vacant roll in an ecosystem. I would bring back the Megaladon, a 60 foot long shark that has the teeth the size of our hands. I would bring it back because a. It's awesome, I mean, a giant shark, I would never go into the water ever again but it'd be worth it. b. It would actually balance out the ecosystem, its main source of food is whales, so if there were too many whales, megaladon would swoop in and help balance that out the populations of many species. Not just because it's freaking awesome.
ReplyDeleteThe definition of de-extinction is creating an organisms that is almost the same as one that has already died out. If I could pick, I would bring back the Quagga. This dear creature became extinct because of ruthless hunting around 1800’s. This creature did not die by insufficient land or natural causes, but because of hunting and food. I believe this species would be able to live normally in the pastures of Africa like it did 200 years ago.
ReplyDeleteDe-extinction means exactly what it sounds like, as in upbringing back to life what would be considered an extinct animal. If I were able to bring back any extinct creature, I think I’d go with the Megalodon because it’s always fascinated me just how massive this shark was. Also, I could never really wrap my head around what it would look like and would love to see it in real time. Where it would live today is a pretty tough question, seeing as it could probably not survive anywhere. If anything, it would live in one of the Earth’s few oceans. The shark would occupy the highest trophic predator level, being outdone by nothing else by a longshot. I think the Megalodon would not only endanger species in the ocean, but all across the world at any location even close to waters.
ReplyDeleteDe-extinction is creating organisms that can fill vacant ecological roles. I would like to see the Dodo Bird come back from extinction because they seem like such innocent birds and they would very interesting to examine. I think they would survive best near Madagascar since they would have an exotic place to find food and mate. Also, I don’t think the Dodo birds would endanger any other species living in that area because they were quite small birds, meaning that they probably just wanted to interact with their own species.
ReplyDeleteDe-Extinction is creating organisms to fill empty roles in nature. If I could bring back any extinct animal, I would bring back the Dodo bird. The Dodo bird would have to live in either Antarctica becuse they need to be some where super cold where they wouldn't have any predators. The only reason I think we should bring them back is because they were fun in the movie Ice Age.
ReplyDeleteDe-extinction is creating organisms that can vacant ecological roles. I would bring the Acrotholus back because in Jurassic park one of these wrecked a jeep and it was only a baby. I thought it would be pretty cool to see a baby that can take care of itself also its a herbivore so it will not hunt humans. I would put it in the Galapagos islands because it is warm and would suit a cold blooded species. I do not believe it would endanger any species.
ReplyDeleteDe-extinction is the creating organisms that can fill vacant ecological roles. If I could bring back any extinct animal it would be the Dodo bird simply because it sounds like a cool bird. Dodo birds used to live on an island in the Indian Ocean, so that is where I would have it live again. It is said that dogs and pigs were the cause of the extinction of the Dodo bird. Though it would be endangered, it wouldn't be of any harm to any other creature.
ReplyDeleteDe-existence is creating organisms to fill vacant ecological roles. If there is one animal I would want to bring back it would be the Quagga. It is half zebra and half horse. I would bring it back because it is a fascinating to wrap your head around. It seems to truly be a helpful example for DNA testing. They should definitely be placed in Africa because there are thousands of zebras there. It could cause a huge growth in this species. Since horses and zebras are both herbivores, they can eat plants. They wouldn't get over populated because there are many predators in Africa, like a tiger, lion, or even a cheetah.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the article, “de-extinction” is not what you might think as being a recreation of a species that had previously existed, but more to fill the niche that it left open in it’s habitat. This made me think of the passenger pigeon, who became extinct in 1914 due to the massive hunting of it. I would bring the passenger pigeon back from extinction, not only because of its food source for many carnivores, but also because it has become an icon for extinction due to human causes. I feel like if we are able to successfully bring back the passenger pigeon or something like it, it would be a symbol of hope to many people that we can work towards making our environment better and work towards restoring many harmed ecosystems. The best place for the passenger pigeon would be right here in the United States where it previously was. I don’t know enough about the ecosystem in North America to say whether it would harm current species, but I do know that the passenger pigeon moves around in large groups, up to 2 BILLION in size, so it could cause inconvenience for the few days that it remains in an area. However, then it will move on, and we wont have to worry about it anymore in your town. These are two articles about the passenger pigeon. For the first article, the passenger pigeon is number 8.

De-extinction is recreating organisms that were once extinct. Personally, I feel the idea of de-extinction is extremely irresponsible. If the creatures are extinct, they are extinct for a reason, may it be environmental or anthropogenic. When the animal would be introduced to a new ecosystem, it may not find a niche, tamper with the food chain, or not even be able to survive the climate. This would not only harm the creature but all of the creatures in the ecosystem. Also, humans are, unfortunately, always looking for new animals to poach, so this animal could become a target and become extinct yet again, making the entire process irrelevant. Therefore, de-extinction is an interesting concept, but it is flawed in more ways than one.
ReplyDeleteDe-extinction is creating organisms to fill ecological roles. If I could bring back one extinct organism, it would be the Central Hare Wallaby, because there were no actions done to try and save it. If we had tried to save it, this adorable animal would still be alive. The best place for this organism to live would be in Australia, it natural home. It would fit in with the other wallabies in Australia. This was, they could reproduce and there would be more wallabies to be placed in the food chain. Overall, I think the Central Hare Wallaby would not endanger other species because there are still wallabies today.
ReplyDeleteDe-extinction is the process of bringing back organisms that are no longer found on this Earth. If I could bring back any organism it would be a Velociraptor. This is because this animal was found over seventy million years ago and had the power and strength to take down all types of dinosaurs including one of the mightiest dinosaurs. The Tyrannosaurus Rex. Now imagine these things running around the streets. Life would be so much more interesting. This would live in the desert because it could compete with the best predators. This would most likely mess up the other species because it would kill all of them and then those that would survive, would have no food. So Velociraptors would be the most dominant predator in the present day.
ReplyDeleteDe-extinction is creating organisms that closely resemble extinct species to fill vacant ecological roles. If I could bring back an extinct species it would be the Qagga because it was eradicated by hunters. The best place for the Quagga to live today would be in captivity in its natural habitat in the dessert grasslands of south Africa so its not at risk of being hunted while still being able to live and reproduce normally. In it's natural habbitat the Quagga is a primary consumer since their diet consists if mostly grass. The only other animals it would be in competition with is other grazing animals because of the scarcity of grass which is one of the reasons it was hunted to extinction by farmers.
ReplyDeleteDe-extinction is creating organisms with similar qualities to the extent species and filling ecological roles of that extinct species.This sounds pretty crazy, but I would probably want to bring back dinosaurs from extinction. Yes, I have seen Jurassic Park, but I would still think it would be interesting how these creatures would adapt to modern society and how the environment and community around it would be affected. Judging by the research that has been found on it, I think that they would become a dominant species of others, and that would probably be a problem. I guess we will find out what will happen after the new Jurassic Park movie comes out. this summer.
ReplyDeleteDe-extinction is the process of creating an organism, which is of or resembles an extinct species. If I could bring back any organism it would definitely be the tasmanian tiger. I would feel the best habitat for them would be Australia where their wouldn't be a big threat against them to go extinct again. It could pose a threat to some smaller species but if kept under control then the tasmanian tiger would fit in perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe Tasmanian tiger is actually a really cool species, and it would be so cool if they were around today.
DeleteDe-extinction is the process of partially recreating a species in order to fill an empty ecological niche. If I could resurrect any species, I would probably bring back Gigantopithecus blacki, which, as the name implies was a gigantic black ape. This species lived in southwest asia and grew to an astounding estimated 9.8 feet, so it is likely that it had no real predators. It was a vegetarian, so I think it would serve the community as protection against the usual predators of rainforests while posing no threat to smaller animals.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think a ten-foot ape would be pretty cool.
A ten foot ape sounds awesome. It's a good idea to bring back an animal that wouldnt endanger other animals, too.
DeleteI agree that it would't really have many predators because of it's size and it would be cool to see a 10 foot ape roaming around southwest Asia. It's also nice to bring back an Animal that would't really harm other animals.
DeleteDe-extinction is basically the recreation of extinct beings in an effort to fill ecosystem. If I were to bring back any species, then I would bring back winged dinosaur, like a Pterodactyl. I chose this species because then we could conduct experiments and determine what truly came first: The chicken or the egg. I’d imagine that the species would live in the tropical tree tops, like in Land Before Time, or atop a mountain, like in every cliche “taken-away-to-the-nest-of-a-winged-animal” scene in movies. I’m not particularly familiar with Pterodactyls, but I know that, if alive today, they wouldn’t have any predators. Although, I wouldn’t consider them “Top Carnivore” since I’m not sure whether they are herbivores, omnivores, or carnivores. I don’t think they would endanger other species in a sense that they’ll try and kill them, but I do think that they would steal their resources. Who knows how many twigs it takes to build their huge nest and how many worms they grab for their babies. In reality, I wouldn’t want dinosaurs running loose, so I hope they keep any de-extinction under control and contained. Again, we really don’t need a real-life Jurassic Park.
ReplyDeleteDe-extinction is the process of creating an organism that closely resembles an extinct species. If there was one organism that I could bring back, it would have to chose the Dodo. I would feel the safest habitat for them would be somewhere free from natural predators and also somewhere free of humans, because humans were a big reason why they went extinct in the first place. I feel that if the Dodo had a safe environment then it would be an amazing animal to bring back to this earth.
ReplyDeleteI would also like the Dodo to come back too because they are funny looking birds.
DeleteDe-extinction is bringing back a species to fill up an empty space in the niche. If I could bring back an animal, I would bring back the saber tooth tiger. It could help with over population problems. The best place for this creature to live is in rural areas where wolves and coyotes are currently found. It would be the secondary consumer in its niche. It would definitely endanger other species because its a hunter.
ReplyDeleteI think a saber tooth tiger would be really cool to have living again. Forget regular tigers, imagine if this was in a zoo!
Deletede-extinction is resurection biology, creating organisms that resembles previously extinct ones. If i could bring back an animal it would be the Dodo bird primaraly due to its name but the world could use more flightless birds. The best place for the Dodo to live is off on a tropical island. They used to live on the islands just east of Madagascar. they need to live on islands due to their inability to fly and their very large size they become big targets to predators. I hope one day we will begin to see extinct animals slowly re-appearing into the world.
ReplyDeleteDe-extinction is the process of which you create an organism that is part of or resembles an extinct species. If I had to bring back an extinct species I would bring back the Broad-faced potoroo. This is a species of marsupials that was found in 1839 in Australia. I would bring it back because they were wiped out so quickly. They became extinct in 1875. They were only known for about 38 years. That's not a lot of time to make a change to much. I think it would be best suited in Australia where it was first founded about 180 years ago. I do not think that it would be a problem to the ecosystem because its relatives the long-nosed and long-footed potoroos still inhabit the forests. It would just be a different kind of potoroo.
ReplyDeleteThe broad-faced potoroo seems like a cool species to bring back from extinction. It's interesting that this kind of potoroo was only known for about 38 years. I agree that if people would of found this species earlier, then it could of had a chance to make it. The broad-faced potoroo seems like it would be cool to bring back.
DeleteI've never heard of a Broad-faced potoroo so i hope you bring it back, so I can observe it
DeleteDe-extinction is re-creating an animal that can fill an empty space in an ecosystem. I think that the Tasmanian tiger should be brought back because they look like a pretty cool blend between a dog and a tiger. I think it would harm the ecosystem around it because it may hunt better than hyenas for example. They do look to be the same size after all. I think the best place it could live is the plains of Africa because they seem like they eat rodents and other small animals because of their size. Lastly, the niche they would fill may compete with other species, and that would not be good for that species.
ReplyDeleteDe-extinction means rezzurection biology or a organism that has been already extinct having another organism look like it with some of the same features. De-extinction is like a species coming into the ecosystem after being extinct for a long time. I don’t really understand how a species can come back from extinction. If there is one species I could bring back it would be the golden toad because it looks pretty cool to have a toad that’s golden. The golden toad has been extinct in the past 40 years at the exact year of 1989. It became extinct to pollution and fungal skin infections. This species was found on the high-altitude ridges of Costa Rica. The golden toad was apart of the true toad species. The golden toads failed to reproduce properly because the males outnumbered the females 10 to 1 at some points. The golden toad was found in about 1966 and one male was found in 1989 but there was no female to reproduce forcing the species to become extinct. I would bring back the golden toad if I had to bring back something.
ReplyDeleteIn response to Joey, I too think that bringing the Golden Toad would be cool to have. I also thought it was interesting that the species had gone extinct because the male and female ratio is 10 to 1. This would make it impossible to breed, and they only had gone extinct for about 40 years.
DeleteDe-extinction is resurrection biology, making organisms that resembles previous ones. I would bring back my favorite prehistoric animal the Saber Tooth Tiger!!!!! I’d bring it back because it’s my favorite animal of all time, and I wouldn't mind having one as a personal pet. Probably in India or the Himalayas, this is where most tigers live nowadays. It would be the apex predator within its ecosystem, I mean seriously they fought mammoths and other badass creatures that could easily kill us if still alive. No, it wouldn't endanger any species it’s favorite food is deer and right now we have too many, actually recently they expanded hunting season so they could get rid of the huge population. In reality it would become extinct within 5 years, every poacher for 1000 miles would be there to collect the pelt and teeth because that's a million dollar artifact.
ReplyDeleteDe-extinction is re-creating an animal that can fill an empty space in an ecosystem. I would definitely bring back the Saber-Toothed Tiger because it just looks really cool. The best place for this species to live would probably be somewhere where its cold since it has thick fur and big teeth. The niche they would fill may compete with other species.
ReplyDeleteIf I was to ever bring back a species, I would bring back an early human, that way, we can see the evolutionary difference done over time. However, I don't think they could live in the wild, and the only way would be if they were integrated into modern society, as laborers, or any other occupation. It wouldn't endanger any other people,besides possibly taking our jobs.
ReplyDeleteDe-extinction is the process by which an organism is created and looks like or is apart of an extinct species. A species that I would want to bring back would be the Pomarea fluxa because I think their feathers add a nice variety of colors versus the birds we see everyday. I would think the birds would just live in regular forests, but since their exotic they may live in South America. I would say the birds would be no threat to changing the ecosystem because I think all the different colored birds would still stick together when living in an area and not really split off from each other. Finally, I do not think the Pomarea fluxa would endanger any species, except for smaller creatures like a certain spider, or unless their colors may scare off predators and divert them to other prey.

ReplyDeleteDe-extinction is being able to create organisms to fill the ecological roles left empty by an extinct species. After doing some internet research I think I would want to bring back the Carolina Parakeet. It was once the only parakeet native to the United States, and I found that super unique because usually you would associate a parakeet with a tropical place, not the United States. Apparently these birds were such easy targets to capture because if one bird in their flock was wounded they would all kind of mourn around the body until it died. Isn’t that just devastating? They were declared extinct in 1939. I would imagine this bird inhabiting places such as Florida, or anywhere on the Southern Coast. I don’t see it being able to harm any large species, but they may bring the bug population down a little bit, which I don’t have a problem with at all!
The process of creating an organism, which is a member of or resembles an extinct species, or a breeding population of such organisms. if i had to bring back an animal i would bring back the short-faced bear. i would bring this animal back because it was huge. the largest found fossil is 6 ft at the shoulder, which is larger than a polar bear.it would inhabit north america because that's where it survived the longest. and i think it would slightly endanger the animals in the area because i don't think anything could defeat it head on but also there are bears in north america already extremely similar to this bear.
ReplyDeleteDe-extinction. Creating organisms that can fill vacant ecological roles. If Were to to bring back an animal, it would be a saber tooth tiger because they're cool animals and they would probably taste good as well. They word survive in the arctic and would be a top hunter. They wouldnt endanger any of the species because they all lived together before.
ReplyDeleteDe-extinction- Is resurrection biology, or species revivalism is the process of creating an organism, which is a member of or resembles an extinct species, or a breeding population of such organisms. Cloning is the most widely proposed method, although selective breeding has also been proposed. I would definitely bring back the woolly rhino from 3.6 million years ago. I would bring it back because it is something that kind of looks made up. I think the best place for the woolly rhino to live would be in the place where they found it: Asia. I think the rhino would live peacefully and would be harmless to other animals.
