1.Furry Mammoth - An Ice Giant Who May Walk Again
A team of scientists from the US company Colossal Biosciences is using technology, DNA from mammoth carcasses in Siberia, mixed with Asian elephants, to "resurrect" organisms that have been extinct for over 4,000 years. The purpose is to restore the tundra ecosystem and combat global warming.

2. Dodo bird - symbol of extinction that may return
The same company that revived the mammoth also had a "wake-up dodo" project, using DNA from a bone sample in a museum, combined with the genetically closest Nicobar pigeon to hope to restore life to this symbol of extinction.

3. Stomach Mother Baby Frog - The Freak Creatures of Australia
This species of frog has been extinct since the 1980s, but it's unique: "Mother frogs swallow a baby in the stomach and let it grow in the stomach before birth through the mouth!" Scientists are now using cloning and gene techniques to resurrect it.

4.Tasmanian Tigers - Legends of Australia
The Tasmanian tiger (Thylacine) has been extinct since 1936, but in 2022 the University of Melbourne team began a project to use genomes from old specimens to regain it, which could bring this kangaroo-like mixed-dog animal back to life in a few years.

5.Neanderthal - Ancient Humans in the New Age?
Geneticist George Church has revealed that CRISPR technology can theoretically "simulate Neanderthals," only with ethical constraints. If it does, it will change the meaning of the word "human" forever.
