When you're fabulously wealthy, which extinct megafauna are you going to spend valuable company time and resources resurrecting as clones?

For me, it's Archaeoindris fontoynontii.

My vote would be for the Irish Elk. Largest deer to ever exist, it stood at 7’ at its shoulders. I don’t think there would be another animal that would fill me with when wonder like the Irish Elk coming out of the fog. I think cave bears are awesome but I would shit my pants if I saw one.

I did see a Moose in Maine once so I guess that’s close it was a female and she was fucking huge and actually I was scared cause moose are crazy. At the end of the day I’m pretty happy to not have to worry about giant animals popping out of no where to fuck me up. Sorry majestic creatures.

The giant sloths at the NC Natural History Museum look pretty chill, I think they deserve another chance on this planet.

not sure if this counts, but the Onion Creek Mososaur at the Texas memorial museum is my absolute fav. fossil. Anyone in Austin owes it to themselves to check out the memorial museum at least once, they have a repro of the skeleton on display and it owns
