[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] LOL! Yeah it's all the Okuda's fault!! :) OK, the last one seen was in captivity (you may have seen that black/brown and white footage) The recently, like in 1999 found a preserved pup in alcohol in the basement/depths of the Hobart Museum. They subsequently have found other well-preserved specimines older, younger, male and female. They have found the pup (and the other specimines) have nice, intact DNA. They are (I think for the first go) that pup... then later on samples from other specimines (which is good to grow a large enough gene-base). They will use Tasmanian Devils or Spotted Quolls as surrogate mothers for the Thylacines. They didn't kill the last remaining Thylacine's pups by lucky-dunking them in preservative! :) The last remaining Thylacine was that one in a cage. People are saying - why spend the money and effort on an already extinct species. Why not spend that time and money on convservation of other threatened species. Good point - but I think it's the whole "mystique" surrounding the Thylacine that makes cloning such an animal so... exciting/interesting to the public. Andrew [/QB][/QUOTE]
