Recreating Extinct Species; The Wooly Mammoth What would it be like to bring back an extinct animal? Recreating one of these animals could be dangerous. The reason this is dangerous is because the animal might not be compatible with our ways of living. Also they might hurt our scientist that could be finding out more about them. We have recreated smaller animals like bugs or snakes but we should try and move to a harder thing to work with which could potentially be mammoths and saber tooth tigers. Scientist have actually thought about recreating bigger species. There are some benefits to this like bringing back a specific species could help our environment. An example of an extinct animal is a Mammuthus primigenius which stands for woolly mammoth.The wooly mammoth is an animal that is very similar to an elephant, it has tusks, a trunk, and are humongous. These creatures were herbivores and ate mainly flowers. The mammoth existed before the elephant and became extinct about 10,000 years ago. The one weird thing is that some of them survived on an isolated wrangled Island and were rediscovered but then became officially extinct. The year this happened was about 1605 BCE. …show more content…
Some of these benefits are that they are believed to be able to slow down the climate change and they could restore the tundra back to grassland. Professor Shapiro explains” The soil is said to be colder where these herbivores have exposed it to Arctic air.” There is a lot of carbon trapped in the Siberian permafrost and if mammoths slow down that melting,we can slow the release of that carbon, potentially slowing the rate of global
I believe that they should do this due to many reasons. My first reason is that bringing Wooly Mammoths back can help reclaim a lost ecosystem. For example, the permafrost is melting, releasing greenhouse gases that have been trapped for many years, but Woolly Mammoths were essentially the creators of grasslands which will help the ecosystem and restore population of horses and other animals. Another reason scientists should do this is because Wooly Mammoths could help slow global warming. For example, the soil is colder where animals like reindeer and moose live. So if Mammoths came back they could make the soil colder. Finally, scientists should bring back Woolly Mammoths because humans simply enjoy it. Many kids are just fascinated by ice age animals like the Mammoth and the dinosaur. Therefore, scientists should bring back Woolly
Imagine a world with a flourish environment, with animals you would never dream to see. Imagine a world where we could bring back extinct animals. Some people believe that bringing back animals is unethical. But these animals can do so much for us. We should bring back extinct animals because it can help the ecosystem and some of the animals extinction was our fault.
But, this book has 13 chapters each explaining evidence of extinction, theories, or animals that had been extinct. Animals that were talked about included the Great Auks and Mammoths. Reasons for the extinctions were the obvious ones such as hunting and global warming.
In nature, there are cases where species go extinct due to humans or for uncontrollable reasons. Recent scientific development has allowed a new idea called de-extinction the act of cloning extinct species using DNA samples from the past and biotechnology. However, extinct species should not be brought back to existence as the idea of de-extinction diverts attention and funding from protecting many endangered species that can still thrive in their environment. Another issue that arises with de-extinction is that resurrected species could become pests in their new environment.
Imagine a world where one extinct animal causes chaos. It eats all the plants and invades other animals territory. Animals are dropping like flies due to one extinct, no longer existing, animal being brought into the world once again this time by humans. Humans also can be the cause of extinction hunting, destroying an animal's home, pollution, and introduction of alien species are just a few ways that we can cause extinction of an animal. Extinction can also occur naturally when disease is spread, or an invasive species takes over. I believe that we should not bring back extinct creatures for three distinct reasons. De- extinction could hinder conservation efforts,de-extinction attempts have failed, and finally bringing back extinct
Today, our society is changing so fast that we barely even notice it’s happening. Soon enough, our society will be able to do what the scientists in Jurassic Park did, and create copies of our “once exist” giants. But while science and technology evolves, we should be the ones to bring up the question not “if we can,’ but rather, “should we?” Dinosaurs are ravenous and dangerous creatures that could tear us apart into pieces, but if properly contained, could be a magnificent sight for many to view. Nature removed the dinosaurs from our planet by selection, but we can use our superior intelligence to play god through biological manipulation. In an article by Thomas Sumner and Bjorn Carey, they discuss the ethics of reviving dead species such as the ones in Jurassic Park, and denote that the technology is in our near future. “Twenty years after the release of Jurassic Park, the dream of bringing back the dinosaurs remains science fiction. But scientists predict that within 15 years they will be able to revive some more recently extinct species, such as the dodo or the passenger pigeon, raising the question of whether or not they should – just because they can” (Sumner and Carey).
According to Martin’s perspectives he has indicated that extinction swept the way approximately half of 200 species of large mammals, for example, anteaters and sloths in the last 50,000 years, late in Quaternary. By establishing dates from the fossils of different, the author believes species went extinct and whether the extinction was sudden or gradual.
An example of an extinct species is a emu, an emu was an animal that fought a war also known as “Great Emu War”And the emus won the war!The emus were not afraid of humans at all but that's not the reason why the war started! The Great Emu War started because emus would go on farmers fields and eat the crops.So the farmers couldn’t take it any longer so they called the ex-soldiers,and then they asked the minister of defence and he started a war between emus and humans
Conservations budgets are limited, assuming that the resurrection would be covered, maintaining the animals would be even more costly. A program to prevent the extinction of the Northern Rhino, will cost millions of dollars. A Wooly Mammoth would be even more because scientists know a lot of things about the Northern Rhino. Scientists are almost blind when it comes to the Wooly Mammoths. A study led by Joseph Bennett found that bringing back the Wooly Mammoth could lead to biodiversity loss rather than gain. In New Zealand, there is government funding for 11 extinct animals, and it might sacrifice triple the number of alive species. (Elena Motivans, 2017). Why would anyone want to risk the lives of our living Asian elephants when scientists don’t even know if this experiment will actually work. Spending all that money, and possibly killing another species is to big of a
Did you know that scientists are trying to bring extinct animals like the Woolly Mammoth back to life? That would be cool to see, but is it worth it? Scientists should not bring Woolly Mammoths back to life. It would be a waste of money, it brings less attention to animals about to go extinct, and it could hurt the ecosystem. First, bringing back extinct animals would be a waste of money.
We should clone endangered and extinct animals because they can help cure diseases that we don’t know how to do today or that we don't have the ability to do today. It is a good idea to clone animals because
There are a lot of animals that are going extinct every day and there might be a way to not stop it but we could clone the animals that are starting to go extinct.When we clone them we could have more of those extinct animals.The way scientists or other people who wish to clone could clone animals that are already extinct
How cool would it be to have extinct species back on earth. Scientists should stop continuing de-extinction because there are unforeseen consequences like scientists would half to make enough extinct species for at least one healthy sized population, half to stop mammoths from raiding crop lands, and it could become an invasive species that could have more for unseen consequences.
57 animals have gone extinct since 1900. Many people believe that because humans were the reason some of these animals went extinct, we should be cloning them and bringing them back. Scientists should not be trying to clone these animals for multiple reasons. These reasons are how do we know they will survive, the cost it would take, and there might be a reason they are extinct. Explanations of these things will be included in this essay and why we shouldn't fight for animals to be cloned.
In the argument of “Should We Bring Back Extinct Species” by Joseph Bennett and Ben J. Novak it is discussed whether or not species that were once dead could be brought back to life. Scientist should not bring back extinct species.This all sounds like a real jurassic park dinosaurs could make a come back but why should scientist bring back an extinct species when we can’t even keep our still living animals alive. Joseph Bennett the assistant of biology from Carleton University states “Those who support bringing back extinct species will say that doing so will help support other species. But scientist already have important species-such as elephants tigers, and rhinos-that are in serious trouble.” If scientist were to concentrate on resurrecting
