Why Mammoths Could Walk the Earth Again in the Next Decade

Andrew Alpin

Picture massive, shaggy giants trampling through snow-covered tundra once more. It sounds like a scene from a fantasy movie, yet scientists are closer than ever to making woolly mammoths roam the Earth again. The ambitious dream isn’t just about bringing back extinct animals for the sake of spectacle. Rather, it’s an intricate dance between cutting-edge ...

10 Extinct Animals Scientists Want to Bring Back

Suhail Ahmed

The line between extinction and return is no longer a hard stop – it’s a pause button scientists are learning to unpress. Powered by ancient DNA, CRISPR editing, and a burst of conservation ambition, de-extinction has shifted from sci‑fi to lab bench reality. The pitch is dramatic: rebuild lost keystone species to repair ecosystems and ...

Could We Ever Bring Back a Real Dinosaur?

Suhail Ahmed

The idea still pulls at the child in all of us: a thunderous footfall, a shadow across the ferns, a heartbeat that isn’t ours. Science has learned to read ancient worlds with astonishing clarity, yet the dream of reviving a true, non-avian dinosaur remains tangled in hard limits. We have fossils with feathers, footprints frozen ...
