Colosal Biosciences revealed the purpose of surviving the giant MOA – non -Birds from New Zealand, who died of excessive hunting.
American scientists wanted to survive the species of MOA birds that ended 600 years ago, up to 3.6 meters high and weighed over 200 kg. This was reported by CNN and IFLSCIENCIE.
The initiative belongs to the biotechnological company Colosal Biosciences, which also works with the “resurrection” of the furry mammoth, the Dodo bird and the Tasmanian Tiger. Today in the Focus-the giant MOA (Dinornis Robustus), a bird intake that once lived on the Southern Island of New Zealand.
Scientists have collected DNA samples of more than 60 bones, eggs and feathers of egg fragments, and study the genoms of nine types of MOA. The first success is the almost complete DNA dedication of smaller relatives -the bush MOA (Anomaloptyx didformis).
According to independent expert Scott McDulla-Jelton from Canada, the MOA disappeared after the arrival of the Polynesians, which was huge hunting for them, as well as due to residential changes. Prior to that, there were almost no predators in the region.
Colosal Biosciences also plan to work on environmental restoring to restore species and support existing ecosystems.
However, many scientists doubt such experiments. They believe that it is impossible to completely survive the dead look, and as a result only a genetically modified hybrid may appear, and not a real MOA.
Earlier it was reported that the Equator AI created a video using the latest artificial technologies. Thus he “lived” those who thought “told” their stories in life.
