The Pyrenean ibex, a form of wild mountain goat, was officially declared extinct in 2000 when the last-known animal of its kind was found dead in northern Spain.
Shortly before its death, scientists preserved skin samples of the goat, a subspecies of the Spanish ibex that live in mountain ranges across the country, in liquid nitrogen.

while this is a cool story, and I am happy for the animal that it is back in existence again, the idea that mankind will have power on what animals are brought back, such as say the Wooley Mammoth, the T- Rex,, ect . is somewhat frightening, what will happen this time? we always manage to f- the balance of things up...
