If you could bring back one extinct animal, which species would you pick? Let us know below!

[blackmesacake]

The team bringing the wolly mammoth back is making great progress

[tvbnine]

Too bad Woolly Rhinos, Terror Birds, Indricotherium, Glyptodonts, Dimetrodon, Dunkleosteus, more Mesozoic sea reptiles, or any giant bugs from the Carboniferous period didn't make the list. Haha I love prehistoric stuff

[TreyMcDonaldAnimator]

I'm not even being funny but I thought Jim Henson had a whole special dedicated to the Golden Toads in awareness of their rapid decline. Song of the Forest, I think it was called.

🌍😢 So sad to see what we've lost due to human actions.

[haydosplays]

I like think they didn't include the Tasmanian Tiger because they don't think it's truly extinct.

Just noticed one Thing in common in the cause of the extinction of this animals..."Humans"

0:12 dinosaurs
What they showed : pterosaur

[Jeremiah_Rivers]

Translating to Dunkle’s Bone, Dunkleosteus’s thick shell would be a great defense mechanism against Megalodon, whose greater maneuverability would give it an opportunity to get the jump on Dunkleosteus’s vulnerable areas.

If I had the ability to bring back any of these species, I'd choose the barbary lion, dire wolf, caspian tiger, Japanese wolf, quagga, cave lion, and sabertooth cat.

There was a Quagga at Nasu Safari Park in Japan when we visited around 2017/2018. I thought it was just a strange looking Zebra. I learned what it was watching this video. Thanks!

Maybe, just maybe, we should concentrate on saving animals that are currently endangered, rather than throwing money at pipe dream 'de-extinction' projects

[PadmeTheMermaid]

You got something wrong. The Anaconda isn’t the largest snake in the world. It’s the heaviest, not longest. The longest snake in the world is the Reticulated Python. Largest ever found was 31 feet. Largest Anaconda ever found was 27. Get your facts right

The house hippo, haven't seen one in years

[MichelZongo-qr]

I don't know if i Can enjoy this video but i learned a lot from it and i really love her voice.

[NathanielMagaña-db]

The Dodo is very iconic to be a fictional animated character such the Dodo in Alice in Wonderland, the Dodos from Ice Age, Rocko the Dodo from Wild Kratts and Polly from the Pirates band of Misfits

[ReynaReactsandReviews]

Love how the background music keeps changing

[BaxterAndLunala]

Why am I not surprised the Honshu Wolf section had clips from Wolf Children in it?

If Titanaboa or Megaladon was still on this earth it would be truly terrifying... that said, facinating!
