Scientists are making progress in their efforts to bring the gastric-brooding frog species back to life using somatic-cell nuclear transfer, a method of cloning.
In March 2013, Australian scientists successfully created a living embryo from non-living preserved genetic material. These scientists from the University of Newcastle Australia led by Prof Michael Mahony, who was the scientist who first discovered the Northern Gastric-brooding frog, and Prof Mike Archer from the University of New South Wales hope to continue using somatic-cell nuclear transfer methods to produce an embryo that can survive to the tadpole stage. "We do expect to get this guy hopping again," says UNSW researcher Mike Archer.
The scientists from the University of Newcastle have also reported successful freezing and thawing (cryopreservation) of totipotent amphibian embyonic cells, which along with sperm cyopreservation provides the essential "proof of concept" for the use of cyostorage as a genome bank for threatened amphibians and also other animals.

And they claim the sr71 blackbird built in the fifties is still the fastest machine ever built. HA! What else can we do? Damn people are smart!

Im sure a faster machine exists, it just isnt public knowledge

That's what I mean. I'd like to see the full extent of human genius. I'd like to see all the things that will shape the earth we don't know about!

So, when will we see a Jurassic Park?

I see your point, but if their habitat no longer supports them, then what is the objective. There are hundreds of thousands of dying species and the only ones that we will keep alive are cute ones like the Panda and the Tigers. I guess we need bees for our survival so we'll have to work on bees.
