Resurrecting an Extinct Frog Species

Cool story about a frog that is being brought back from extinction.

Yes I seen this! Mouth birth! Haha if I ever own a really small frog I want these just to creep people out when they give birth

Interesting. This sort of thing is exactly how they're one day going to make an I Am Legend disease by accident. I just hope before they kill us all that I can have a pet velociraptor created by science.

SCIENCE!

I can't wait until science can resurrect a quagga for me to ride to work every morning.

Hmm...maybe we should leave things like this alone. Just my opinion, playing God doesn't work well.

Shush, I want my pet velociraptor!

Can I get a tricaritop? I can't spell their name but riding one to work would improve my dealings with fellow motorists that are on the dumb as rock side

Triceratops*

All Ceratopsid dinosaurs were awesome though even though I'm more of a Spinosaurus man myself.

You can try fluffy will be decked out in battle armor that will make a tank look like a doll house and he will respond only to a language I will make up just for him and if you fail giving him a command he will sit on you and honk until I return

Triceratops don't honk, they make triceratops noises, duh. And my raptor will herd him, he's a herding raptor.

O he'll honk and everyone knows hearding raptors can't handle one specially if I put him in park

Triceratops aren't machines, you can't "put them in park."

I'll respect your opinion in the same way that I would expect anyone else to respect mine, however I will say that these animals didn't go extinct from "an act of "god."" Instead, man destroyed their habitat and polluted the water in which they lived, and as a result they disappeared.

Yes! At a recent "meeting of the minds," mammoths, smilodon and mastodon were species that were named as being on the list to bring back (along with dodos and a dozen other species).

I've been following the de-extinction story a little. My take? Ideally, it's an incredible idea. What an amazing achievement! I love science.

Realistically, the most ecologically damaging species in the history of the planet has not yet learned to control itself. I can already hear people shrugging off possible extinctions because with "well, we can just bring it back later".
