Cloning might be bad for human, because most of us believe that any person is individually different between one and another. But that is definitely not the case for animals, because these amazing extinct animals that i'm about to share will be awesome if resurrected through cloning technology. Here i would like to discover and share with you guys some of the most amazing extinct animals that are supposed to be resurrected by cloning, why? One reason, actually one bold reason, because they simply deserve it, how great could it be if extinct ancient animals like woolly mammoth or even the dinosaurs could be seen living and well once again, although it will a very hard thing to do, i do believe them scientists could pull it off, it will take maybe 5 or more years, but it will certainly worth it to wait that long.
Dolly The Sheep

| Extinct Animals Cloned as Dolly The Sheep |
In 1997, Dolly the sheep is cloned, it was by scientists in Scotland who has created Dolly at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, which was actually born on 5 July 1996.
Dolly is the first mammal to have been successfully cloned from an adult cell. Previous clonings have been from embryo cells. The sheep's birth has been heralded as one of the most significant scientific breakthroughs of the decade although it is likely to spark ethical controversy. One of the major objective set by doing this research is to study genetic diseases for which there is presently no cure and track down the mechanisms that are involved. At this point you might be wondering how come this was shared which was not anything about any amazing extinct animals, right? Well, you should not worry even a bit, this is just the beginning, you'll see more.
Woolly Mammoth

Now how about this giant creature as the first real amazing extinct animal to be resurrected through cloning. It was early in 2011, where Japanese scientists announced that they planned to clone a woolly mammoth within five years.

The clock is ticking, but with a little luck these ice age behemoths may soon become the first inhabitants of the world's first zoo for extinct animals. Hopefully they will pull this off, we'll check it out in 2016, see you then.
Dodo

| Extinct Animals Resurrected by Cloning Dodo |
Perhaps the world's most notorious extinct animal, the dodo was driven to extinction a mere 80 years after its discovery. Since the bird's habitat on the island of Mauritius contained no natural predators, the dodo evolved to have no fear of humans and was easily clubbed to death, what a way to be exterminated, while it could easily become one of the most amazing extinct animals to be resurrected by cloning.

It is believed that DNA samples have recently been retrieved from museum samples housed at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, making the dodo a good candidate for this process.
Baiji River Dolphin

Declared "functionally extinct" as recently as 2006, the Baiji River dolphin became the first cetacean to go extinct in modern times due primarily to human influence. Because of its recent extinction, however, DNA can still be easily extracted from remains. In fact, efforts to retrieve and store the animal's DNA are under way.

Like with many extinct species, however, the question remains about whether the Baiji River dolphin would have a home to return to after being resurrected. The Yangtze River system, where this dolphin was found, remains heavily polluted.
Pyrenean Ibex

| Extinct Animals Resurrected by Cloning Pyrenean Ibex |
Check out this next amazing extinct animal, you see the last known Pyrenean ibex was a female named Celia, who was killed by a falling tree in 2000. Her DNA was used to create a clone.

The Pyrenean ibex became the first extinct animal to ever become un-extinct, unfortunately it only last for seven minutes.

The cloned fetus, which contained reanimated DNA from the last known living Pyrenean ibex, was successfully brought to term after being implanted in the womb of a living domestic goat. Although the ibex died of lung difficulty seven minutes after birth, the breakthrough ensures the inevitability of resurrecting extinct species.
Huia
 |
| Amazing Extinct Animals Resurrected by Cloning, Huia |
This bird with its highly unique beaked, once endemic to the North Island of New Zealand, became extinct in the early 20th century after museum demand for mounted specimens reached a peak. Due in part to the bird's popularity as a mascot and national symbol within New Zealand, a project was recently launched and approved to clone and resurrect the huia.
Passenger Pigeon
 |
| Amazing Extinct Animals Resurrected by Cloning, Passenger Pigeon |
As recently as 200 years ago, flocks of passenger pigeons numbering in the billions blanketed the North American sky. By 1914, the species had been wiped out by merciless hunting campaigns. Now thanks to cloning technology, the animal that was once the most numerous bird in North America might have a second chance. Museum specimens, feathers and other remnants of these birds still exist, and because they are so closely related to the mourning dove, finding a surrogate mother would be easy, now this is a very good news for us who waits eagerly for the reality of most amazing extinct animals that are resurrected by cloning.
Woolly Rhinoceros
 |
| Amazing Extinct Animals Resurrected by Cloning Woolly Rhinoceros |
The woolly mammoth wasn't the only massive hairy creature as The woolly rhinoceros also stomped through the Arctic snow as recently as 10,000 years ago. The animal also appears frequently in ancient cave art, such as at Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc Cave in France.

And for all of the same reasons that the previously mentioned woolly mammoth makes a good candidate for resurrection, so it is with the woolly rhino as well. Well-preserved specimens frequently become exposed in Arctic permafrost.
Moa
 |
| Amazing Extinct Animals, Moa |
These giant flightless birds, similar in appearance to ostriches and emus but without vestigial wings, were once the world's largest birds. Because moas were hunted to extinction as recently as 600 years ago, their feathers and eggs can still be found relatively intact. In fact, moa DNA has already been extracted from ancient eggshells, and projects to clone the moa have already been attempted.
Neanderthal
 |
| Amazing Extinct Animals Resurrected by Cloning, Neanderthal |
The Neanderthal is perhaps the most controversial extinct species eligible for cloning and resurrection, primarily due to logistics: The surrogate species would be us. As the most recently extinct member of the Homo genus, Neanderthals are widely considered a subspecies of modern humans. Cloning them might be controversial, but it could also be illuminating.
A Neanderthal clone would also probably be most viable. Scientists have already completed a rough draft of the Neanderthal genome, for instance.
But what we should be asking ourselves is "should we do it?"
Don't you just love the above idea of saving the amazing extinct animals through cloning? Imagine we could finally see the ancient animals with our own eyes, that would be so amazing, especially with the ones that we often see in movies, like the dinosaurs for instance. That's it for now, i'll be signing off with my finger crossed to see this whole idea of resurrecting the amazing extinct animals through cloning come true.
