Were they good to eat? I heard they were kind of oily and gross. We probably didn't eat them all. Ships brought rats to the island, which ate all their eggs.
So first we create giant pidgeons and THEN cross them with dodos!
One of the hurdles in bringing them back would be finding a related bird capable of handling (or producing) an egg that size. IIRC they were {pigeons, always check }, the size of a turkey, with disproportionately large eggs from that base.
Well, the dodo was hunted into extinction, and if I recall correctly, it didn't have many natural enemies anyway. Certain animals like sabertooth tigers or wooly mamoths could be put in zoos---for example, I don't think a sabertooth tiger would care if it got beef or mamoth.
....I agree that the mammoth is also a good candidate mostly because of popularity and the willingnis to clone one, ironicly for consumption
Okay scrap that last part if you likeI agree that the mammoth is also a good candidate mostly because of popularity and the willingnis to clone one, ironicly for consumption
Two words: Ja Pan. (It's two words in Japanese.) The people who would let Madam President Hillary drop nuclear bombs on their capital before they would stop eating whale meat.??? to eat it? Why would they spend all the money on that just to eat it?
