THOR's thrilling Chris Hemsworth supports a bold attempt to bring back extinct tigers nearly a century after they went extinct.
The Tasmanian tiger disappeared in his 1936, but scientists don't want the creature to be 'extinct'.
Chris, 39, along with his 41-year-old actor brother Luke and his 32-year-old Liam,Australian gene Invests in engineering company Colossal Bioscience. He leads multi-million dollar projects.
The same team previously spoke ofplans to revive the woolly mammoth.
But experts hope to have a Tasmanian tiger cub, officially known as Thylacin, in just 10 years.
The last known death of this species in the 1930s was after it was driven to extinction.
It makes huge claims that large-scale missions can be carried out using stem cells and special gene-editing techniques. They have done a lot to protect marsupials, they are leading the way in returning Tasmanian devils to the mainland and building populations outside of Tasmania.According to The Herald Sun
``I connected with Chris and Luke when they were raising Series A funding and decided to invest in the company. and how the technology Colossal is developing can be used to help protect and conceive marsupials.I couldn't be happier with their support and engagement."
Thor star Chris said his family is dedicated to supporting conservation efforts around the world. }
"The extinction of the Tussy Tiger has had a devastating impact on our ecosystem. We support the innovative conservation work being carried out by Dr. Pask and his entire Colossal team." I am happy to be able to do that," he explained.
If this team succeeds, they will be the first to "save" a species from extinction.
But other experts are skeptical.
Professor Jeremy Austin of the Australian Center for Ancient DNA, The Sydney Morning Herald says the idea is "the science of fairy tales".
