So let me get this straight.
A species went extinct 10000 years ago. /sarcon Must have been those cavemen causing global warming /sarcoff
There must be a reason. They were unable to adapt to a changing ecosystem, prey disappeared whatever, and bringing them back is a good idea?

10,000 years ago is about the end of the last ice age. The sabertooth tiger went extinct around the same time as the ecosystem changed and available large animals to prey on disappeared.

Perhaps they should think about it.

Just wait until they start doing it with humans (if they haven't already).

For the win.

Thanks for the link, Doc. I am going to stay very skeptical of this. If it makes it to a real science journal, I might feel differently.

Maybe they can combine the DNA of an Eastern Diamondback and an Anaconda.
