The aurochs is an ancestor of domestic cattle that lived throughout Europe Asia and North Africa.
What animals are scientists trying to bring back. Can we expect scientists to bring back the saber toothed tiger. Not content to speculate on possibilities a group of geneticists met in New Zealand in 1999 to figure out whether it would be feasible to clone a huia and bring the species back for good. Meet the Scientists Bringing Extinct Species Back From the Dead New gene-editing technology could revive everything from the passenger pigeon.
This article lists 10 extinct animals that scientists can and should bring back from the dead. Scientists want to bring them back through selective breeding of cattle species that carry some. By 2050 there are many animals that may go into extinction if nothing is done very soon.
To discuss which animals we should bring back from extinction. Thats because they arent cows but rather Aurochs one of the largest herbivores in European history weighing 700 kg 1500 lbs and 1500 kg 3300 lbs. Why scientists would want to bring this animal back to life is the real question.

Today scientists have developed several new techniques where they can successfully use methods such as cloning DNA splicing etc to essentially resurrect these animals from the grave.
Scientists want to bring them back through selective breeding of cattle species that carry some aurochs DNA. 7 Animals That Scientists Want To Bring Back From Extinction. If playback doesnt begin shortly try restarting your device.
The scientists involved in this study want to bring back the tiger by using the genetically similar Siberian Tiger 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. 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.
