When I bring this up IRL, with examples of insect population changes, people’s jaws are on the floor. I don’t have to quote science papers, just, “Remember what it was like?”
I’ve seen the biodiversity crash on my front porch in just 5 years. I got frogs back in the hood, hoping there’s dragonfly larva maturing.
Pretty sure it’s 3, they have a history of claiming to resurrect extinct species when they’re just modifying existing species to be a little more similar to the extinct one.
They claimed to bring back dire wolves but they’re more similar to grey wolves. They make the argument that the genes they used are what most makes a dire wolf a dire wolf, but it’s controversial.
I also remember hearing they said they would bring back a population of red wolves by extracting red wolf DNA that had been absorbed into a coyote population, but seemed to ignore the existing red wolves (which could do with extra genetic diversity) and worked using coyotes as a base.

They’re essentially Godzilla squab, if they didn’t taste great deep fried I’d be shocked.
I heard they were terrible. Humans didn’t eat them, our pets did.
Probably didn’t know how to cook them back then, look at what happened to lobster.
Well, you can cook damn near anything if done right. Weren’t they said to be tough and greasy?
I’d want one as a pet
The main character of Jasper Fforde’s amazing Thursday Next alternate history series does!
We spared no expense.
Clever girl … gets pecked in the shin
Very useful. Meanwhile elsewhere biodiversity is down the drain.

I used to see swarms of grasshoppers every summer as a kid (80s), now a single one is a rare sight.
Is Colossal:
A mix of 3 and 2.
They already made modified red wolves and called them dire wolves and named them after GoT.
They’re modified grey wolves, Colossal Biosciences had a separate project on red wolves.

KFD, surely?
Am I an idiot for trying to match the "DODOdo"s with Darude - Sandstorm?
They don’t match. Don’t try.
