A team of scientists plan to roll back the evolutionary clock and resurrect the Dodo before releasing it back into the wild.
Colossal Biosciences - a company working on technologies to bring back extinct species including the Dodo and woolly mammoth - has attracted a wave of new support though some scientists maintain that it's an impossible feat.
The firm revealed ambitious plans to revive the lumbering ancient elephant two years ago, but on Tuesday said it also has singled out the Dodo for the Lazarus treatment.
