Native animals as pets and bringing back extinct species
Could Australia have its own version of Jurassic Park? What if the Tasmanian Tiger could be brought back and what if you could have it or any other Aussie mammal as a pet? A world in which these things happen may be more possible than we think. 4ZZZ's intrepid reporter, Anita Diamond interviewed Professor Mike Archer, on “having native animals as pets” as well as bringing back extinct species, Professor Archer is a professor of PalaeoBiology at the University of New South Wales.
For a deep dive...
Here is Professor Mike Archer's uni profile page which lists all of his publications for further reading. You can also join the Mammal Society of NSW for those in NSW on Facebook here.
