Myles Posted July 9, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 9, 2018 If you could choose a part of your country to be home to an extinct animal that has been resurrected, which animal would you choose? I wonder if the dodo could thrive in parts of Florida. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orphalesion Posted July 9, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) I want the Paraceratherium back. I don't care where it lives I just want it back. Giant rhino-giraffe-elephant thing When I was a kid I loved reading those "science" books for kids. And I had a very vivid dream about my book about Ancient China having a picture of a Paraceratherium being presented to a Chinese Emperor, and for a while I was convinced that those animals might have made it into historical times. but turns out I just mis-remembered an illustration about a giraffe being presented to the emperor... The Thyalcine is a close second. Edited July 9, 2018 by Orphalesion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acute Posted July 9, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I would bring back the Wooly Mammoth, to see if they are frightened of mice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daughter of the Nine Moons Posted July 9, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I think a woolly mammoth or maybe a mastodon for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But also because I think it would be fairly harmless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imaginarynumber1 Posted July 10, 2018 #11 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I want to change my answer I want one of the australopithicens. Preferably afarensis, but I'd settle for any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittens Are Jerks Posted July 10, 2018 #12 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I would kill to have Psittacosaurus as a pet. It's the cutest little thing ever. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, very similar climate and topography, the only difference is the vegetation, but that wouldn't affect the tiger that much I wouldn't have thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would there be enough prey for them? I would think that the mammoth would be a good one for Canadians to want. It seems like the most popular are predators, which could be a problem.

And prey wise there'd be plenty here, well maybe, because the truth is really thatwe haven't got a bloody clue what the hell they ate or were up to really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could use a couple around to alleviate my raccoon problem. I have had to dispose of 7 so far this year and I've only set my trap 10 times.
