If scientists were able to revive a prehistoric animal, would you want it to be the sabertooth tiger?

Sabertooths are cool as sh*t and I’d like to see one. If you don’t want to run into one, which prehistoric extinct animal would you like to see make a comeback?

[strateguy632]

No because it is a predator that would harm me, eat me like tigers! Bring me a plant eater in link , so much steak! By eating grass the price would be cheaper! Barbecue!

That'd be a mistake it'd devastate the ecosystem of any place it was put.

Not saying you’re wrong, but how would it “devastate the ecosystem?”

[Phoenix98]

Because it's not a natural part of any existing ecosystem on earth not anymore. It'd basically be an invasive species. Ecosystems have a very delicate balance of prey and predator, fauna, etc you can't just go and introduce new species like that.

Like how in Florida a bunch of peoples exotic pets got loose or released into the everglades and now they are multiple evasive species there that are having a adverse affect on the ecosystem of the everglades.

No, they’re extinct for a reason. We don’t need a mammal version of Jurassic Park.

they are already 99.9% complete in bringing back the tasmanian tiger

Interesting, I’m not familiar with that one.

Sabertooth tigers are indeed captivating creatures, but if I had to choose another prehistoric animal to revive, it would be the woolly mammoth. Imagine seeing these majestic, furry giants roaming the Earth again! They have always piqued my curiosity with their similarity to modern elephants yet unique adaptation to the icy environments. Plus, they seem less intimidating than a sabertooth tiger! 🐘

I believe it would be bad for our current animals if some dead animals were revived into our life through DNA manipulation. There are weaker animals that might be safe to introduce into our world, but not predator creatures like that.

It probably doesn't need to experience that teeth pain all over again 😞 poor soul

That's a very interesting idea, I like it, yes, Sabertooth tiger would be perfect for cloning.
