The Dodo may be de-extinct soon! Please subscribe to continue learning what makes life AWESOME: https://BioBush.tv/subscribe
A biotech company called Colossal Biosciences is working on de-extinction technology, and they have announced that their target is the poster child of extinct species - the Dodo. The world's largest species of pigeon went extinct just 100 years after being discovered by European sailors.
Their intent is to edit uniquely Dodo genes into their closest living relative, the Nicobar Pigeon. Then they will genetically engineer a surrogate parent (either chicken or pigeon) to be big enough to lay a Dodo egg. Then a genetically Dodo-like bird will exist again!
