And the dodo, which is my favorite.

I see my dodo.

But we have DNA from lots of different animals.

So, you know, you never know.

That's right.

Where are we going to put mammoths?

Eventually, that is the goal, to have animals that live in wild habitats.

But this will be a very long process.

No, we won't be reintroducing direwolves.

Well, I mean, we don't currently have any plans to bring cheetahs or saber-toothed cats back to life.

That's true.

But we know also from looking at the cheetahs that we have that they didn't only eat pronghorns.

They were eating lots of things in their habitat.

They had to eat something else.

Otherwise they would die.

Yeah.

I mean, for every species, there will be different work that has to be done to figure out whether and where is a good idea to reintroduce them.

And for each of the species that we're working with, we have councils that we've put together in the part of the world where we would bring them back together to have conversations about where they should go, whether they should go, how many there should be, and who is willing to be the long-term stewards for these animals.

Well, right now we're not focusing on Russia because issues.

Right.
