The Plan to Bring the Iconic Passenger Pigeon Back From Extinction

The Plan to Bring the Iconic Passenger Pigeon Back From Extinction/">

Submitter comments:

"According to my wife the veterinarian, geneticist and part time evil genius; a clean, workable, genetic sample of the Passenger Pigeon, will need to have been held at fifty degrees Fahrenheit below zero, constant. A stuffed bird in the aviation wing won't do it. And forgive me for stating the obvious but it will be challenging to repopulate an entire species with a single cloned specimen, which will in fact have, a single sex."
