Can we bring back the Andrewsarchus? Then maybe I wouldn't get such a bad rap.

First, there is no such thing as an ex Texan. Former Texan yes.
My selection for bringing back would be the Passenger Pigeon. There use to be millions of them, in fact some reports said that the sun would be blocked out just from the flight of them.
The very best to you and yours.

I vote for the Tasmanian Tiger. Went extinct in the 1930s. There are specimens preserved in alcohol.

Someday, they will figure out how to make a living couch. It will be soft, warm and furry and able to survive on nothing more than butt sweat and the crumbs that fall between the cushions. Ping

I guess my plans to buy some land in the northwest territories and start a mammoth ranch aren’t so crazy after all.

Neanderthal Man (Homo neanderthalensis) may stalk the streets of Detroit after they escape from laboratories. I think that has already happened.

The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve
Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

I know science is evil right??
No, science is morally neutral. The problem is, too many scientists are morally reprobate these days.

Not on the list—A passenger Pigeon. We have the last ones who died in 1924 frozen. They were said to be good eating—thats why they are extinct. Raise them and sell them to restaurants. I would pay for a passenger pigeon pie.
To: null and void
They were added as earmarked earmarks.
