Plans to bring extinct tiger back to life
Three months after the Australian Museum shelved plans to clone the tiger - also known as a thylacine - a group of universities and research institutes are planning to revive the project.
Mike Archer, dean of science at the University of New South Wales, told the Herald-Sun newspaper that researchers from New South Wales and Victoria states were likely to join the programme, which involves recovering DNA from a pup preserved in ethanol in 1866 to breed a living specimen.
