This has forced scientists to make the most of today's technology and to try to bring some of these animals back to life. This is possible by redesigning DNA strands and replicating them. Technology has become so advanced that now certain information can be written into DNA and thus bring back to life the animal species that once lived.
To achieve this, scientists need to possess the DNA of animals that were once alive. Until recently, some animals were with us, so their DNA was well preserved, while some other animals were found in the form of fossils, from which the DNA was extracted.
Scientists have now made a list of 10 animals that are likely to return in the next 20 years, and here are the species in question:
Chinese river dolphin
Quagga
Pyrenean ibex
Mammoth
Elephant bird
Glyptodon
Tasmanian tiger
Giant sloth
Smilodon
Dodo bird
