Eh, this sounds like another dire wolf "designer animal" style announcement from what I could find. Color me skeptical of the result even if the animal looks like the extinct one.
Scientists aim to genetically engineer living birds to resemble the moa within five to 10 years, starting by extracting DNA from well-preserved bones.
This marks Colossal's first attempt to de-extinct a bird, presenting unique challenges compared to their previous work with designer grey wolves.
