Where did they get enough Tasmanian Tiger DNA for cloning? Which species will serve as the surrogate mother?

Do you have a link for us, or should we just look it up ourselves? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Even if they succeed, they won't be able to reestablish the species--there would be too few members with not enough genetic variance for viability. Even if they made a handful of them, they would be "unique" specimens in various zoos.

Nice thought, though. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
