#1 The saber-tooth tiger should be brought back. I propose the US reintroduce this creature into Colorado, since their elected reps have such an affinity of wolves.

And lets not limit the joy of seeing these magnificent creatures to just farmers and ranchers. Let's make sure they're released on the outskirts of Denver, Ft. Collins, and Boulder. Every citizen of that state should have the opportunity to encounter one of these magnificent animals.

#4 De-extincting the woolly mammoth, for example, could combat global warming by restoring Arctic grassland ecosystems, they say.

Oh so it's hip, it's wow, it's pop, it's now! No worries then, clone away!

In fact, let's do Giant Sloths so they can be domesticated for after The Fall and used as war mounts.

#5 Well, according to this source: the claim is, just a bit, of an exaggeration.

#6 The Joe Rogan interview w/ Lamm is very very interesting.

Lamm was saying the saber-tooth tiger is the most popular animal that everybody wants to bring back.

He said someone approached him to bring back Mammoths for steaks and meat, a new protein source for the meat Industry.

He was saying that they put cutouts of pikachus and thylacines in the australian outback, and the thylacine cutouts spooked the animals. They suggest that fear of Tasmanian Tiger is passed down via DNA. I think it also suggests they could still be alive to foster that fear...

#7 Grom - It's funny contrarian hotair posted that because Lamm predicted it would happen. Lamm takes about 15 minutes (fair and balanced) with Rogan and hits all the different takes on DNA and bringing back a species - and the various push back he gets.
