An "extinct" animal is being reintroduced to the Sahara

I find the idea of reintroducing endangered or nearly extinct animals to an area to help it grow again.

That makes it sound like some Jurassic Park magic. They could’ve just said “extinct in the wild”.

(Edit: Wasn’t trying to be pedantic… was just surprised at first, like “oh wow, genetics has come that far?” only to be disappointed by the clickbait… Still glad they’re being reintroduced, though.)

Welp they ARE trying to do that too, or have already allegedly succeeded, with the quagga, for one.

I had a toy plastic one of these when I was a kid.

I’d heard it was the dire wolf that had been brought back :winking_face_with_tongue:
