| Should We Bring Back Animals From Extinction New York Times |
Jurassic Park: The Sequel?
Bringing back extinct animals is like trying to fix a broken video game by restarting your console. Sure, it might work, but you’re also risking a whole new set of problems. Like, what if the resurrected animal is, you know, angry? Or if it carries some ancient disease that could wipe out humanity? And let’s not forget about the ethical implications. Is it right to play God like that?
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.
The Woolly Mammoth: A Cold Case?
One animal that’s getting a lot of attention is the woolly mammoth. Scientists are all, “Let’s bring back the woolly mammoth to save the planet!” Okay, but what if they accidentally create a giant, hairy, angry elephant instead? And how exactly is a woolly mammoth going to help with climate change? I mean, it’s not like it’s going to start recycling or something.
Tip: Reading with intent makes content stick.
The Dodo Bird: A Flightless Dilemma
Then there’s the dodo bird. Poor thing couldn’t fly and got eaten by everything. Bringing it back would be like releasing a toddler into a lion’s den. Plus, who’s going to feed it? Are we going to start farming dodo food? It’s a logistical nightmare.
QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.

So, should we bring back extinct animals? Honestly, I’m on the fence. On one hand, it would be amazing to see some of these creatures in the flesh. On the other hand, it’s like opening Pandora’s Box. We could end up with a world full of angry, disease-carrying, flightless birds.
QuickTip: Ask yourself what the author is trying to say.
Let’s just focus on protecting the animals we still have. That seems like a safer bet.
