00:00Scientists push boundaries of de-extinction, bringing lost species back to life.
00:06A woolly mammoth walks across a frozen arctic tundra.
00:09Across genetic labs, frozen permafrost and conservation centers,
00:14scientists extract ancient DNA and attempt to rebuild lost species using modern technology.
00:20Researchers recover mammoth DNA from Siberian ice,
00:24edit elephant cells in laboratories, and aim to create cold-resistant mammoth-like hybrids.
00:30A Tasmanian tiger moves through black and white footage,
00:33while scientists study preserved samples to recreate the striped predator lost in the early 1900s.
00:40A dodo stands reconstructed in museum displays,
00:44as researchers analyze bird DNA and compare it with modern pigeons to rebuild extinct traits.
00:51Scientists use CRISPR gene editing tools, modify living cells,
00:55and test whether extinct characteristics can return in modern animals.
01:00Lab teams grow embryos in controlled environments, monitor development closely,
01:05and face major challenges bringing extinct species fully back.
01:10Conservationists debate releasing revived species into modern ecosystems
01:14that have changed drastically since the animals disappeared.
01:18From frozen tundra to sterile labs,
01:21de-extinction research pushes science into territory once thought impossible.
01:26The past is no longer completely gone.
01:29It may be waiting to return.
