Still Waters Posted February 21, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Scientists have scanned all known preserved Tasmanian tiger "joeys" to better understand the marsupial's key early development phases. The study tracks the changes to the infants' skeleton and internal organs as they grew inside the mother's pouch. It captures in detail the transition the tiger joey made from something that resembled all other marsupials to something that looked more dog-like. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-43142347 http://rsos.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/5/2/171914 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon the frog Posted February 23, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Do they have enough material to clone them ? But would be harder with marsupial because the mother would see first hand that her baby is not the same species and probably will kill it.
