The thylacine was the largest land predator throughout mainland of Australia. But as humans migrated and brought dingoes, the Thylacine struggled to compete for food and almost disappeared around 2000 years ago. A group of US and Australian scientists have banded together to bring the Thylacine back from extinction. The first step will be to structure its genome. Why did they decide to do it, and will they succeed? #brightside Credit: CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/: Tasmaanse tijger: frank wouters – https://flic.kr/p/4qjWJC, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tasmaanse_tijger.jpg Mammuthus primigenius: James St. John – https://flic.kr/p/V5bXmt, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=69716264 CC BY-SA 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/: Fat-tailed Dunnart: Bernard DUPONT – https://flic.kr/p/gew1wi, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fat-tailed_Dunnart_(Sminthopsis_crassicaudata)_(9998321085).jpg Baby Mammoth: Thomas Quine – Baby Mammoth – https://flic.kr/p/9Gw5zW, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Baby_Mammoth_Lyuba.jpg Thylacinus cynocephalus: Marie-Lan Taÿ Pamart, CC BY 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Thylacinus_cynocephalus_Zooth%C3%A8que_MNHN_n1.jpg CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/: Tasmanian Tiger: Megan Jerrard – mappingmegan.com https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tasmanian_Tiger_(Thylacine)_Skeletons.jpg Pyrenean ibex: KKPCW https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pyrenean_ibex_-_1.jpg
