I wonder if they have enough DNA to clone one of those mofos. It would be awesome if we could bring them back.

Solid thread btw

For the past 10-15 years, scientists have been attempting to work with extracted DNA (preserved by a thylacine pup in a specimen jar) to clone a thylacine. I think they've recently abandoned the project due to damage in the DNA sequence. It may just be a matter of time before they're able to repair the sequence, assuming it's even possible.
