If given the power, which extinct animals would you return to the world?
-
Ardipithecus ramidus

>tfw even if you did bring them back they would all die again from avian malaria
A lot of island obscure songbirds look so cool, it’s kinda sad to read about them and how many of them just die out with zero records-
>Virtually every individual of endemic species below 4,000 feet (1,200 m) in elevation has been eliminated by the disease. These mosquitoes are limited to lower elevations, below 5,000 feet (1,500 m), by cold temperatures that prevent larval development. However, they appear to be slowly gaining a foothold at higher elevations and their range may be expanding upwards.[11] If so, most remaining Hawaiian land birds may become at risk to extinction.
>Most of the Hawaiian Islands have a maximum elevation of less than 5,000 feet (1,500 m), so with the exception of the island of Hawaiʻi and East Maui, native birds may become extinct on every other island if the mosquito is able to occupy higher elevations.
Oh fug-
Hawaii is one of the few places where eradicating mosquitoes is 100% warranted. They aren’t native and weren’t introduced until after contact. People would appreciate it. The birds would have a chance at recovery. And the native freshwater fish don’t even eat them since they’re all either algae grazers venturing in from the ocean or gobies.

The passanger pigeon.

The humble dodo

How did they taste like? I imagine them tasting kinda like turkey.
-
Apparently they tasted awful but were hunted to extinction anyways because people didnt feel like lugging around livestock

>Calling for a mate that will never come
People will bring up the dodo, call me a pussy, but I feel this is more "haunting" so to speak. -
Neanderthals would be interesting to have around t.b.h.
-
white people still aren’t completely extinct yet.
-
-
Horny shrimp.
-
the andrewsarchus, the thylacine and a lot of weird prehistoric fishes.
-
no hesitation
-
Sevondary: Liopleurodon
-
Wonder what these taste like?
-
-
Thylacine, the fact that the last known living specimen died in a zoo due to neglect is the most depressing shit ive ever heard
-
there can only be one.
-
Not those freaking birds that’s for sure. We already have turkeys and parrots
I would revive a terror bird.
-
I miss him bros…

Woke af

I would only bring back animals that went extinct in the last 100 to 300 years or so, keep most of the ecologies of the world intact and similar, just fixed by human industrialization.
Reviving ALL animals driven extinct by humans or resetting animals back to how they were 10k years ago would make the planet almost alien. Probably too hot for any of them to survive anymore anyway, even without humans.
-
the chinese paddlefish.
-
Cape Lion
-
South American Pleistocene megafauna.
Today the largest native mammals in South America are tapirs.-

>Ardipithecus ramidus
You have amazing taste, I went to a Permian display in a London museum in the summer and they had a fully reconstructed fossil and an animatronic Gorgon next to it.
-
-
My ancestors
-
Argentinosaurus
-
All of them, especially the scorpions.
-
-
Smallpox
-
Technically not extinct.
-
-
All of them, at the same time, and whatever survived would be the new ecosystem.
-
Real answer, thylacine. It would be awesome if they’re still alive now in hiding but that’s pretty doubtful
-
This. They could at least remain stable on Tasmania, even if Dingos will fuck them over everywhere on the mainland.
-
-
No, they’re marsupials. Only thing further would be an echidna or platypus.
The tiger stripes are cute and kittylike though.
-

-
I’ve always been fascinated by the Thylacine.
I would also like to see pic related to make a return to the wild. It may be possible due to breeding programs.

They looked very feliform. I wonder if they were related to fossas somehow.Go one step further, the Marsupial Lion, the Thylacoleo which more and more evidence seems to show it was made extinct by the arrival of humans. Would have have been amazing to see such a powerful marsupial apex predator
-
Man, we were so close of being able to save the Australian mega fauna. 46 thousand years ago isn’t too far away from modern days.
-
>46 thousand years ago
Wasn’t the Queensland Tiger supposed to possibly be a surviving remnant population of them in Northern Australia -
New Zealand is even more tragic. It was the last part of the Earth (other than Antarctica) to be settled by humans, the Maori only reached it around 700 years ago.
-
-
They are probably Australia’s equivalent to a leopard or a jaguar back in the days. I am not sure if they can survive today by hunting red kangaroos though.
-
Yeah theocoleo would be my second shout. But not sure how id feel about bushwalking with those fuckers out there
-
Despite being roughly jaguar sized they were too hyper specialized for larger game. Maybe if we plopped them in Africa they’d make it.

Capybaras aren’t extinct.

Capybaras aren’t 3 meters long.

Forgot pic

Neanderthalensis, or if that doesn’t count as an animal, Erectus. Just to see what would happen
-
the Laysan Rail. real cute little fellas.
-
all of them
-
Feel like shit just want my state emblem back
-
I’d also say the japanese otter. They didn’t deserve any of this.
-
Thats a weird looking otter fren
-
I dont mind that being an otter in a world where the chinese and i are the same species

Anyone suggesting anything older than the pleistocene is a scrotebrain. There’s no natural habitat left for them and zoos wouldn’t know how to take care of a sauropod or liopluerodon either.
Actual suggestions:
>wooly mammoth
>wooly rhino
>aurochs
>giant ground sloth
>glyptodon
>smilodon
>thylacine
>great auk
>cretan dwarf elephant
>elephant bird
>dodo -
I want giant sloths back
-
Quagga (Rau Quagga is a step in the right direction)
Thylacine
Moa or Elephant Bird
Dodo
Woolly Mammoth -
Mammoths, cave bears
-
my friend kyle
-
🙁
-
-
Is that even a question?
-
none honestly
-
Giant moa, I want a chokobo I can ride.
-
Trilobites
-
What was the biggest flying one?
Give me that. -
giant ground sloth would be cool to bring back
-
Humans, I am from 2025
