Description

It's time for another extinction episode!
Is extinction truly forever? Could something like Jurassic Park actually be possible? If so, should we do it? As we speak, there are scientists around the world working on the early stages of answering these questions, and in the process developing the very real science of De-extinction.
In the news: sea-going crocs, giant sea snakes, early baleen whales, and super-ancient viruses.
