Which extinct creature would you bring back to life if you could?
De-extinction is no longer pure science fiction — from the woolly mammoth to the dodo, real projects are underway. But if you had the power to resurrect one lost species, which would earn your vote?
Put the items in your preferred order.
1
Woolly Mammoth
Colossal Biosciences is actively working on bringing this shaggy giant back to Siberia. Imagine one stomping across the Scottish Highlands — terrifying or magnificent?
2
Dodo
Hunted to oblivion by 1681, the dodo has become the global symbol of human-caused extinction. Bringing it back would be either poetic justice or a very awkward apology.
3
Sabre-Toothed Cat
Smilodon prowled the prehistoric world with fangs that made it look perpetually ready for a fight it didn't need. Restoring an apex predator this dramatic would rewrite every rewilding debate overnight.
4
Great Auk
This flightless seabird once nested on British and Irish coasts before being hunted to extinction in the 19th century. Unlike the mammoth, its revival feels genuinely achievable — and overdue.
5
Megalodon
A shark the size of a double-decker bus that feasted on whales. Scientifically implausible to revive, but if we're dreaming big, why not dream absolutely terrifying?
