According to BBC reports on August 17, researchers in Australia and the United States are carrying out a $ millions of pockets that cost a million US dollars, saying that they will use cell gene editing technology to resurrect the bag wolf within 10 years.

The bag wolf, also known as the Tasmanian tiger, is the largest carnivore in modern body types. The most prominent feature is the stripes and parenting bags on the back of its back. Usually, the mother has a parenting bag, and the produced young cursive wraps in the bag develops.

Modern bags appeared about 4 million years ago, and most of them lived around Australia and New Zealand. However, due to the destruction of human civilization interference, the bags were hunt on a large area, the habitat was destroyed on a large scale, the number of species began to drop rapidly and was declared extinct in 1936.

Australian research teams with the United States stated that they plan to extract stem cells from a living body with similar DNA, and then use gene editing technology to bring back the wolf that has been extinct for nearly 100 years back to the world. Andrew Pask, a professor at the University of Melbourne, revealed to the media that they can complete the puppet label larvae within 10 years.

It is reported that 20 years ago in the Wolf Resurrection plan, it was proposed that in 1999, the Australian Museum had begun a cloning project for extinct animals, including extraction from DNA and rebuilding DNA from the sample. At present, the University of Melbourne has cooperated with COLOSSAL in Texas in the United States to closely carry out tasks and research related to the pocket resurrection plan.
