And if we start thinking we're going to start bringing back these extinct animals just to pander to people's fascination for something that, you know, oh my God, I want to see it. I want to be the first because we have these fascination with these things that, you know, have so been glorified over the years through mythology and stuff. All of a sudden you're going to open Pandora's box.
That's right. You can't introduce these wolves to the wild. But hey, what's going to happen if one escapes? Oh, like the fencing in Jurassic Park goes down, a dinosaur gets out, no longer control. Oh my God, what are we going to do now? What if? What if? Guys, do not fool with Mother Nature. Sorry, I'm banging the table, making things shake.

uh some of the species of tiger the sumatran tiger you know um the the the adax i mean there's there's approximately 300 of them left in the wild and we're killing them off or removing that habitat um i would bring those animals back if we could have the habitat that they need to survive because that habitat is all part of this balance that we have as a planet

People talk about countries and political boundaries and stuff. Animals don't have political boundaries. When they migrate, they don't bring their passports and check in through immigration. All this stuff is a very important balance for the entire health of the planet. It's our own health by protecting these animals.

So when we have some of these animals that are in grave danger of extinction because of things that we've done, yeah, I would support trying to protect them with this type of knowledge, this type of science.

Well, you know, I don't know, Tony, you know, what specimens they have. I do know that they have found entire woolly mammoth halves frozen in ice as if they died yesterday. So obviously there's been some good tissue, some good DNA preserving going on there, which would provide them with more material, I guess, to extract from. I'm not a geneticist. I can't tell you how that's done.

But assuming they could, I still don't think it's a good idea, even though 99% of the people say, oh my God, I just want to see one alive moving. Again, this is dangerous, guys. This is dangerous. Go to a museum, look at the bones, look at things as they were, and realize there was a reason why they became extinct.

There's many words that could be substituted to mean the same thing. It's what we call synonyms.

I don't know of an underwater T-Rex in such that a T-Rex that lived underwater. I know they have found fossil records of T-Rexes that are now submerged, but that's because when the T-Rex died, it was not necessarily land that was underwater.

You know, as the ice age diminished, sea levels rose, and therefore you had bones that might have been on the coastline or something, and all of a sudden now are underwater. It's like the state of Florida. You know, if you walk in the state of Florida, you dig down six inches down here, you'll be in a coral rock because this was originally all underwater.

I can't believe the T-Rex could swim. And there's no such thing as an underwater T-Rex only because there's no reptile that lives underwater.
