Ye Quan couldn't help but be interested when he saw the news released by the Dragon Eagle Group, he was not surprised that the Dragon Eagle Group was able to achieve the achievement of resurrecting the mammoth before the scientists of several other countries.

When they first broke into the "Hidden Dragon" base, the Dragon Eagle Group's pioneering process in cross-species gene transplantation was simply incredible, and even the bio-type fighter Qì-"Orc" was successfully researched.

In contrast, resurrecting a mammoth with frozen wreckage is nothing short of pediatric.

After the establishment of the large-scale biological room, Ye Quan occasionally had some ideas, could he use these super-era biotechnology to resurrect dinosaurs?

He still remembers the shock of the first time he saw the movie "Jurassic Park", and he fantasized that it would be great if he could go to that island for an adventure, and I believe this is also the dream of every teenager who has seen this movie.

However, the dinosaurs have been extinct for tens of millions of years, and now there are only some cold fossils left, and it is too difficult for today's biotechnology to be resurrected, and Ye Quan doesn't want to scare people all over the world.

However, many well-known extinct animals in modern times, more or less still have some remains, which are completely feasible in theory, and all that is lacking is time and financial resources.

Now that the Dragon Eagle Group has begun, Ye Quan naturally does not want to fall behind in his heart, and decides to resurrect some extinct animals as well, and then take them out to open the eyes of the world.

At the same time, you can also strike at the Dragon Eagle Group, which is recovering its vitality.

Isn't it another year before the mammoth fetus is born? This time was enough for Ye Quan to resurrect an extinct animal first and steal the limelight.

As for those scientists who were opposed to resurrecting extinct animals, Ye Quan didn't bother to pay attention. Even the scientific community itself cannot be reconciled in this matter. The public says that the public is justified. The mother said that the mother is reasonable, the argument is endless, it is better to practice it with actions, it may be a waste of money for others, but for Ye Quan, it is not too difficult.

Ye Quan first found Hou Ming, He Cheng and other biological experts to ask about the resurrection of extinct animals, and Hou Ming said without hesitation: "No problem." With the technology now mastered by the biological laboratory, as long as people are summoned and studied for a period of time, not to mention those modern extinct animals that have stored the remains of zài musculature, that is, dinosaurs and other ancient extinct animals, you can also extract DNA fragments through the bone marrow tissue of zài in complete fossils, and then use advanced genetic reverse engineering to trace the genes of birds such as guò emu forward, as long as there are some small changes. By implanting modified DNA, ancient dinosaurs can be cloned. It's just that the research time takes a little longer. ”

Birds have genetic memories in their genes, and most of the genes that reflect the characteristics of dinosaurs still exist, but they are dormant or slightly altered, and occasionally mutate to produce atavism.

Ye Quan suddenly perked up when he heard this, and asked the biological real room to speed up the research on biological cloning, and asked to resurrect a modern extinct animal before the mammoth was born.

After human beings entered the era of geographical discoveries and the industrial revolution, a large number of wild animals were extinct due to deforestation, environmental modification, hunting and carrying viruses.

Due to the short period of time, many of the specimens of extinct animals and soft tissues have been preserved, which is of great help to the resurrection work.

For example, the most famous representative of extinct birds in modern times - the North American passenger pigeon, this kind of traveling bird, widely distributed in North America in the 19th century, the herd of passenger pigeons can reach more than 100 million, before the arrival of Europeans, there was an astonishing number of more than 5 billion. When they fly in groups, the largest flocks cover an area as wide as 1.6 kilometres and as long as 500 kilometres, and it can take days to traverse an area.

There was a time when a pioneer was walking in a horse-drawn carriage in the wilderness and encountered a flock of passenger pigeons that obscured the sun for several hours, and at that time, "obscuring the sun" was not an exaggerated adjective, but an actual descriptive.

Because of the delicious taste of the meat, people tried all kinds of methods to slaughter the passenger pigeons, shooting, shelling, burning, poisoning, netting, explosives...... The most tragic thing is that people often hunt passenger pigeons for fun, and one shooting club shoots 50,000 in a week, and some people shoot 500 in a day.

In 1878, in Pytoski, Michigan, 50,000 passenger pigeons were killed every day, and this continued for five months.

Captured passenger pigeons are not only used for human consumption themselves, but also to feed pigs. This heinous killing process has continued for more than half a century.

On March 22, 1900, in a woodland on the outskirts of Pike County, Ohio, a 14-year-old boy hunter used his air gun to shoot down a wild passenger pigeon, the last recorded case of a wild passenger pigeon to date.

In the end, a pair of captive-bred passenger pigeons left the world after leaving behind a young chick and a few unhatched eggs. Their chicks were given the name "Martha", and "Martha" died on September 1, 1914, in Cincinnati Park, Lycan.

The frustrated Liberians erected a monument to the passenger pigeon, which read: "The passenger pigeon is extinct because of human greed and selfishness." ”

Many museums still have specimens of passenger pigeons.

The thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger, became completely extinct more than 70 years ago, with the last thylacine dying in 1936, meaning that there is some well-preserved tissue available for good DNA.

Thylacine specimens are available in many museums around the world, and their surrogate mothers are easy to find.

Moa is one of several species of giant and flightless birds that lived in New Zealand's history, and there are known to be ten species of different sizes, among which the giant moa is the largest, with a height of up to 3 meters, and the largest individual is about 3.6 meters tall and weighs about 250 kilograms, which is much taller than the current ostrich, and can be called the world's tallest bird at that time. The small moa is the size of a turkey.

Until the early 18th century, tens of thousands of moa birds thrived in the pristine lowlands and coastal woodlands of New Zealand's southern islands.

Moa meat is abundant and delicious, and when the Maori arrived on the island, they regarded these unfortunate feathered behemoths as one of their best prey.

By the end of the 18th century, the moa population was low and it was becoming more and more difficult to catch it, and 1800 was the last year in which people could catch it.

Moa is estimated to have become completely extinct around the 50s of the 19th century.

The DNA of this flightless bird is easy to find, as there are well-preserved remains, bones and even eggs in dark, dry caves across New Zealand.

Like the moa, the Haast eagle lived together in New Zealand about hundreds of years ago, and it was at the top of the local food chain, mainly killing moa for food, and there were basically no natural predators at that time.

The Haast Eagle is similar in shape to the modern eagle, with a wingspan of 3 meters and a standing height of 1.4 meters, and the largest Haast Eagle weighs 18 kilograms, which is heavier than the body of any modern eagle and is by far the largest carnivorous bird.

The Haast eagle became extinct around 1500 due to a dwindling source of food, the moa, or possibly by local humans, as this huge predator was thought to threaten the safety of the Maori people.

In 2013, an elephant egg was auctioned in the United Kingdom, which was claimed to be "the world's largest egg", and sold for $100,000.

This giant elephant egg is about 21 centimeters in diameter and 30 centimeters high, which is the size of 7 ostrich eggs, 120 ordinary eggs, or 12,000 hummingbird eggs, or even larger than a dinosaur egg.

The elephant bird, also known as the Elephant Bird, is a large, flightless bird that lives in Madagascar, and was once considered the largest bird ever left in the world, until October 2006, when it was outnumbered by the Elephant Bird, which is three meters tall and weighs more than half a ton.

By the 17th century, the number of inhabitants of the island had increased by more than ten times, which prompted them to speed up the exploitation of nature and the plundering of natural resources. Large swaths of forests have been cut down and turned into farmland, leaving elephants and birds homeless and gradually going extinct.

The year 1649 was the last year that the locals were able to kill elephant birds. However, 200 years later, in 1849, an elephant egg was found in the forests of southern Madagascar, but unfortunately no adult bird was found.

Since then, no elephant has been found, and its title as the world's largest bird has been ceded to ostriches due to human intervention.

The spotted donkey is also called a half-body zebra, a quasi-zebra, a half-length horse, etc., is an animal living in southern Africa, its front half is like a zebra, the back half is like a horse, which is different from the offspring of the zebra and the zebra crossb, the zebra is an independent species.

The spotted donkey has four strong hooves and a fast running speed, up to 70 kilometers per hour, and is known as the "steppe knight".

The spotted donkey has always been the main predator of Africans due to its delicious meat and high meat output, but the primitive hunting method did not deal a fatal blow to the spotted donkey group.

Until the 19th century, a large number of European immigrants poured into Africa, and they used lassoes, firearms and other equipment to hunt wildly, and also looted, stored and smuggled the skins of spotted donkeys. By the mid-19th century, spotted asses were rarely seen in southern Africa.

The last wild spotted donkey was shot around the end of the seventeenth century, and the world's last captured spotted donkey died in a zoo in Amsterdam in August 1883.

These are very few examples of animals that have become extinct due to human factors in recent times, and there are countless more statistics. (To be continued......)
