Why Scientists Don't Want To Bring Tasmanian Tigers Back

They said it was gone forever. In 1936, the last Tasmanian tiger—also known as the thylacine—died in captivity. But nearly a century later, the sightings haven’t stopped. Now, scientists are on the verge of resurrecting this extinct predator using real DNA, preserved specimens, and gene editing tools like CRISPR. And that’s not all. New sightings, trail cam footage, and thermal imaging are reviving the question: Is the Tasmanian tiger still alive… or are we just starting to realize it never left? In this cinematic deep dive, we explore: The real history of the thylacine – The most credible sightings in recent years – The shocking New Guinea connection – Colossal Biosciences’ plan to bring it back – The ethical and ecological dilemmas we now face Whether you believe in lost species or synthetic resurrection… this is a story you won’t want to miss.
