Reply to comment by fostertheatom in TIL that in 2003, scientists "resurrected" an extinct species of Ibex, bringing back one living specimen, only for it go extinct again seven minutes later when the specimen died of a lung defect by mausoliam95

What? No, no, we could put them in a zoo where people can learn about them. Think about it, we could give safari and lab tours, and I can finally get to spend some quality time with my kids. It will be great. Everything is just great.

It depends.

Do they pay huge sums of money to get there, or do we get to vote who goes?
