  • Resumen

  • We all have a favorite animal that we wish were still alive – whether it’s a giant armored Dunkleosteus fish or a miniature Eohippus, the 12-inch-tall prehistoric ancestor of the horse. But is there a chance that, somewhere out there, these extinct creatures may not be so extinct at all? Or could we perhaps – one day – bring them back?


    In this episode, we dive into the topic of de-extinction, asking: how do scientists decide that a species has gone extinct in the first place? What are the considerations and consequences of bringing back extinct species? What makes a species a good candidate for de-extinction?


    And perhaps the most pressing question – will we be seeing woolly mammoths wandering around any time soon?


    Listen to the episode to find out!
