If you could revive one extinct species, which would it be?

[Scarim Coral]

I'm going with the giant tortoise. Yes they are still around per say however some of the subspecies are extinct like Pinta Island tortoise aka what Lonesome Geroge is.

 

[SecondPrize]

I'll second the guy who wanted Megalodons and then never go near water again.

 

[stormeris]

I've got an idea!
What about 2.5 metre long sea scorpions??
Or a 2.6 metre long centipede? (Not talkign 'bout human centipede, but AND ACTUAL CENTIPEDE) Arthropleura

Captcha: it hurts... Yes it does, captcha, yes it does

 

[beyondbrainmatter]

Trilobites. Obviously.

 

[game-lover]

Arthropleura. Think of all the things we could train them to do. Not including scaring the piss out of people.

NO. NO! EFF you! If you brought those back, I swear to God, I'd jump you and feed you to them as punishment!

 

[Adeptus Aspartem]

It has to be Dodos. I mean come on, just look at the buggers

 

[Th37thTrump3t]

The Dodo.

I would raise a great Dodo army and conquer the world! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA >

 

[shootthebandit]

I'd wait for the inevitable extinction of the panda and then bring it back.

This, but for tigers, not pandas.

"why not adopt a tiger or a panda for £3 a month? it will write to you and even send you a welcome gift"

if these animals can write and have their own postal service then why are they going extinct?

"this may also make a great gift for a loved one"

what a great gift, you've signed me up to a direct debit

 

[JaceArveduin]

As other's have said, I want the Thylacine back, which is usually called a tasmanian tiger, even though it's more of a tasmanian wolf.

I blame Leviathan, I want my own Tazza

 

[Strain42]

I would bring back the proud and majestic Phil Hartman. Such a noble creature that could spread joy and amazement to the world.

On a more serious note, I dunno...probably one that I feel deserves an honest shot. I mean no offense to extinct species, but I imagine a lot of them went extinct for a reason...

After much thought (and a brief glance through wikipedia) I think I will give my answer to the Japanese Sea Lion.

 

[Deadlywere]

Well, I'm going to be that person and say the Argentavis magnificens
Who doesn't love carnivorous birds that are as tall as humans?

 

[Brian Tams]

Dodos. Because, after witnessing the phenomon of funny cat memes, I cannot wait to see what the denizens of the interwebz would do with motherfucking dodos.

They were most likely herbivores so nothing to worry about.

OT: T-rex is my favorite thing of the ancient past so that.

Besides that, Saurophaganax for a kick ass name.

 

[Guffe]

Unicorns!!

That'd be a cool thing, more rainbows, that means more leprechauns, which means more pots of gold!

+ they'd probably bring Dragons with them too at the same time

 

[thePyro_13]

The original cold virus. Their most common ancestor. We can study it and build a vaccine that targets all of it's descendants.

 

[The_Echo]

None, because they died for a reason and I don't want to do to the world what cane toads did to Australia.

 

[prpshrt]

Dodo bird. I wanna taste it ._.

 

[Siege_TF]

Prehistoric hemp. Yeah it might not have the THC content of their modern descendants but EVERYTHING was bigger back in the day.

 

[Gabriela D.]

Haast's eagle. Majestic as fuck. Here's your new mascot, America. You're welcome.
