The thylacine played a critical role in regulating the ecosystem by hunting non-native mesopredators, which prey on native herbivores.
Key Points:
- The thylacine played a critical role in regulating the ecosystem by hunting non-native mesopredators, which prey on native herbivores.
- When the native herbivores disappear, the natural vegetation changes, transforming the landscape and creating a vicious cycle of degradation.
- Colossal previously announced its plans to de-extinct the woolly mammoth and restore the keystone species to the Arctic Tundra last September.
- Colossal is propelling the scientific community forward by spearheading the current approach to de-extinction, said Thomas Tull, lead investor in Colossal.
