The Thylacine has been extinct for nearly eighty years. The thing is, all those Thylacine hunters have been looking in the wrong place. The Australian Museum, in Sydney, has an excellent Thylacine. It's sleeping very soundly, it's been in that condition for one hundred and thirty years. Don and his team think it's time the Thylacine species woke up.
Cloning means copying.
It's already been done. Dolly the sheep was the first exact copy of an adult animal. She has no mother or father. Scientists took an egg from a sheep's ovary. They sucked out the DNA, the biological instructions, from the egg, and then replaced them with the cell.
