A group of 21 experts and researchers at a specialized conference in the US recently made interesting predictions: Zoos will have more animals that clone extinct species, led by mammoths. prehistoric. In addition, it will also be robotized and equipped with super advanced technology such as animal brain readers for visitors.
According to biologist Michael Noonan at the University of Canisius, USA, we have already seen robots infiltrating every aspect of our lives, from robot vacuums to intelligent operating systems. "So they will definitely enter the park of the future world."
Along with improvements in brain science, the future park will even be able to help people read the minds of animals with brain transmitters. "We will be able to be connected to the mind of a wolf or a dolphin."
Experts also say cloning technology will eventually reach the point where it will be possible to recreate extinct animals. "But not dinosaurs," noted Mr. Noonan. “But everything will become possible and appropriate.”
For example, animals that have become extinct more recently will be considered, because they may still have similar habitats and ecosystems on Earth today. Animals that have become extinct by humans are also candidates to be considered for cloning.
The researchers all had tissue samples from species such as the dodo bird, the post pigeon, the mastodon, a relative of the zebra, the quagga, a carnivore, the tasmanian wolf, which is already extinct. strains since the 1930s. All of those species, Mr. Noonan stressed, could be revived in the future.
However, at the top of the list of possible future reincarnations is an animal that became extinct 4,000 years ago, possibly because of climate change and prehistoric man hunting. That's a mammoth.
According to Louisian Tech University biologist Jeffrey Yule, the mammoths have the highest potential to be regenerated by cloning technology because scientists have good DNA samples that are excellently preserved in the contaminated soil. nature's permafrost. Even the recently extinct dodo doesn't have much potential to be recreated by mammoths because preservation methods in museums can damage their DNA this bird.
