The Lazarus Zoo: Resurrecting Extinct Species
An anonymous reader writes "The Australian Museum is attempting to resurrect the extinct Tasmanian tiger, using pup cells harvested from storage jars in alcohol from 70 years ago. The tiger was hunted to extinction, and has the ironic distinction of receiving legal protection the same year that the last of its kind (named Benjamin) died at the Hobart Zoo on September 7, 1936. Other cloning attempts at conserving endangered species include the South Asian banteng on an Ohio farm, the world's last burcado (a Spanish mountain goat), a wild Asian ox called the gaur, and even a woolly mammoth." They're hoping for a live birth in 2010.
Mention "Woolly Mammoth" and "Goat" in the same story. They are just asking for it. :)
I just had this GREAT idea for a movie! We could get Jeff Goldblum, and have this sort of theme park on an island somewhere, and... oh, DAMNIT!

The earlier story is already linked into the post, so your dupe is a dupe.
Wow, with a seven-year gestation period, it's no wonder they went extinct.
I recently received an email from someone who has discovered a way to lengthen genitals. I'll forward it to the Australian Museum.
