Giant Panda also in the verge of extinction. According to the latest report, China has 239 giant pandas in captivity by Nov 2007, 128 of them in Wolong and 67 in Chengdu, with 27 pandas living outside the country. It also estimated that around 1,590 panda are living in the wild.

Tasmanian Tiger
The last Tasmanian tiger (thylacine), a female about 12 years old,
which died in 1936.
The Tasmanian Tiger, Thylacinus cynocephalus, was a large, carnivorous (meat-eating) marsupial that is probably extinct. It is not closely related to the tiger.
Habitat and Extinction: The Tasmanian Tiger lived in dry eucalyptus forests, wetlands, and grasslands in continental Australia, Tasmania, and New Guinea. It went extinct in mainland Australia about 2,000 years ago due to competition from dingoes. In Tasmania, the Tasmanian Tiger went extinct in 1936 after being killed in large numbers by sheep farmers who settled in Tasmania (the Tasmanian Tiger ate a lot of sheep). The last known Tasmanian Tiger, named Benjamin, died in captivity at the Hobart Zoo. Despite its supposed extinction, there are a few unconfirmed Tasmanian Tiger sightings each year in Tasmania.
Anatomy: The Tasmanian Tiger was 6 feet (1.8 m) long, including the tail, and weighed about 65 pounds (30 kg). This mammal had light brown fur with a series of black stripes along the back from the base of the tail almost to the shoulders. The tail was long and stiff; it could not wag like the tail of a dog. The skull was large and its jaws could open 120 degrees, wider than any other mammal.
Diet: The Tasmanian Tiger was a carnivore who hunted at night and at dusk and dawn. It ate wallabies, rabbits, sheep, poultry, goats, and other animals. It was a solitary hunter who used its keen sense of smell to find its prey. Although it wasn't a fast runner, it had great stamina, and pursued its prey until the victim was exhausted.
Reproduction: Females had a rear-facing pouch in which the tiny immature young lived for many months, drinking the female's milk.

Researchers revive plan to clone the Tassie tiger
The audacious plan to bring the Tasmanian tiger back from the dead through cloning is to be revived by a coalition of academics.
Three months after the Australian Museum said it was shelving plans to clone the tiger - or thylacine - the University of NSW's Dean of Science Mike Archer said the work was being picked up by a group of interested universities and a research institute.
Professor Archer, a former director of the museum, said researchers from NSW and Victoria were likely to take part in the program, which involves recovering DNA from preserved tiger tissue to breed a living specimen.
The University of NSW was likely to take part and the museum would be asked to co-operate.
Professor Archer declined to publicly name the other bodies involved before they were formally committed.
"A group of institutions is involved in moving ahead with creating new ways of getting the thylacine project back on track," Professor Archer said.
"I would see this institution [UNSW] being involved.
"We're beginning to think how we would progress this program."

The Australian Museum captured worldwide headlines in 1999 when under Professor Archer's directorship it announced plans to take the DNA from a thylacine pup that was preserved in ethanol in 1866 and reconstruct it.
The museum planned to clone the thylacine using the egg of another carnivorous marsupial, the Tasmanian devil.
The plan attracted more than $300,000 in sponsorship from the private sector.
However, Professor Archer left the museum in 2004 and in February the institution said it was abandoning the work due to poor DNA samples and a lack of adequate technology.
The decision won praise from some conservationists who said the money spent on cloning research would have been better spent on preserving existing endangered species.
Greens Senator Bob Brown said he believed the idea of bringing the dead back to life was "dysfunctional" because the habitats occupied by the thylacine are themselves being destroyed.
The last known tiger died in Hobart Zoo on September 7, 1936.
In February this year, two German tourists caused a flurry of excitement when they produced two digital images they claimed showed a living tiger they had encountered in the wild.
Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery director Bill Bleathman, who viewed the photographs, said they showed the back of a thylacine but its head, hindquarters and tail were not clearly visible.
The pictures are considered inconclusive.
In March Kerry Packer's magazine The Bulletin announced it would pay $1.25 million for the capture of "a live, uninjured animal" as part of its 125th anniversary celebrations.
Tasmanian tour operator Stewart Malcolm subsequently upped the offer to $1.75 million, saying that he had been planning for months to offer a bounty.
ade jugak pekdahnye klon2 ni
tapi yg tak bestnye,saintis2 ni nanti ngaku depa tuhan lak :kant: |

.. nak jadi sarkastik sikit..
if you're a billionaire, i'm the president of usa.. 
sebenarnya semua bentuk kebaikan itu bermula dari kita..
maybe kita tak mampu untuk wujudkan sanctuary, tapi apa yang kita lakukan kecik2 tu besar peranannya..
jangan buang sampah merata2.. tak gunakan barangan kulit dari haiwan terancam, tak guna kosmetik yang diuji ke atas haiwan..
sapa2 yang pernah dengar tentang teori butterfly effect akan sedar betapa pentingnya usaha orang2 kecil macam kita berbanding dengan usaha yang gah2 tapi hangat2 tahi ayam..
BTW balls-off, opsss... blastoff, niat yang baik dan patut diteladani..
lepas ni kena hafal TOS haiwan terancam lak..
weii, now that you mentioned butterfly , they are there toooo in my garden
in my opinion , the best way that we can do to help animals is to provide a habitat no matter how small it is for them in our backyard or our balcony for those who don't have a garden at home ....  well , at least we do something to help them in any way we can , right ?

Three mont ...
Yup isu klon ni memang menjadi perdebatan. Well if we try to clones another human, it's totally wrong. But what if we tend to clones another animals or any kind of living things that crucially in the verge of extinction, is it wrong or right.Or what if we tries to revive back animals that are already extincted, like teh dinosour . Let's have some discussion here... |
