Debate Rages Over Whether 'Extinct' Species is Genuine or Just a Zebra
Scientists involved in the Quagga Project claim to have resurrected the extinct quagga, a zebra relative, through selective breeding rather than cloning. This effort has sparked debate among experts, with some viewing it as a superficial attempt akin to 'Jurassic Park,' while others see it as a hopeful symbol for conservation. The project, which began in 1987, aims to recreate the quagga by breeding zebras with similar genetic traits. Despite criticisms, the project could offer insights into restoring endangered species.
