Can We Bring Back Dinosaurs in 2025? The Science of De-Extinction

Could extinct animals roam the Earth again? 👉

Breakthroughs in genetic engineering are fueling de-extinction, a bold field aiming to resurrect lost species. Using cutting-edge tools like CRISPR, cloning, and genome editing, scientists are pushing the limits of resurrection biology. From DNA resurrection to back-breeding, they're crafting hybrids rather than perfect replicas like the proposed mammophant, a cold-resistant elephant with key woolly mammoth traits.

While mammoth revival is making progress, the dream of a dinosaur revival remains impossible due to DNA degradation over millions of years.

How does it all work? This video explores the science of de-extinction, breaking down CRISPR, cloning, genome editing, and biotech innovations driving species revival. But this journey sparks big questions: Could revived species survive in today's world, or would they disrupt ecosystems? And more importantly, could this technology reshape the future of wildlife?

Explore the future of bioengineering and the ethics of rewriting nature. 🍀
