Texas-based firm Colossal Biosciences is already working on a way to bring back the long-extinct woolly mammoth.
Relatively little is known about the iconic species which was wiped out by humans over 350 years ago.
The specimen is the first near-complete dodo skeleton to go up for sale at auction in almost a century.
A video has appeared online showing what looks like a dodo in trail camera footage from Costa Rica.
Samoa's national bird, the Manumea, has finally been spotted for the first time in over ten years.
The last known surviving egg of the extinct dodo could be sent away for DNA testing to confirm its prevalence.
