Can we get rid of this "Dire Wolf" project?

With the recent news that Dire wolves were quite distantly related to wolves & other canids. This project just seems rather superficial compared to other projects, which is using animals from the same species. Can't forget the environmental & conservation uses of these projects. To avoid an edit war, I hope to see any reason why this should be listed. Monsieur X (talk) 10:28, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Selective breeding

The Selective breeding section should be removed. Neither the quagga, nor the aurochs nor the European wild horse have been "resurrected" by selective breeding. There is already a page for "breeding-back". DFoidl (talk) 12:18, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cloning

The only species to go extinct twice, the Pyrenean ibex was briefly resurrected via cloning. Unfortunately, the newborn ibex died after a few minutes due to a birth defect BBres96 (talk) 11:04, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
