Zoos for extinct animals could become a reality in the near future

Many animal species have already gone extinct, which means that there are none like them out in the world anymore. But traces of them could still exist, particularly in fossils and DNA remains, making it possible to bring them back to life, so to speak, and enable people to see them in the flesh at some point in the future.

This is all based on concepts that relate to the science of animal cloning, and how it can be used to “resurrect” extinct animals by using present-day technology. It may be a long shot, but some signs point to it being a distinct possibility. In fact, many scientists and other experts believe truly believe that it could happen.

Just the idea of being able to clone certain animals, even those which are still around, would be enough to fuel excitement in some people. But what would be exciting is if scientists somehow made it possible for ordinary people to see supposedly extinct animals up close and personal in actual zoos. As you might have guessed, that’s a thing that’s already in the works. In one study, the researchers are looking at the possibility of making it happen by 2070.
