What if a woolly mammoth wandered past your school oval… or a Tasmanian tiger trotted through the playground?
In this week’s Squiz Kids Science Short, we explore the surprising science of de-extinction… the real-life effort to bring vanished animals back using ancient DNA, gene editing and even giant artificial eggs.

Listen carefully — there’s no test, but plenty to think about!
