Best Answer

The Australian Museum's head of evolutionary Biology, Dr Don Colgan is leading a team of scientists in an attempt to bring the Tasmanian Tiger back from extinction.

Dr Colgan led the team in extracting fragments of DNA from the body of a preserved Tasmanian Tiger pup which had been preserved in alcohol 137 years ago.

The next step should be to attempt to tease whole chromosomes from the fragmentary bits of DNA salvaged from the preserved pup.

Dr Colgan has already stated that this attempt (at its present funding) only has an eight to ten percent chance of success.
