Smildon's had huge 30cm Canines that were used to bite into the soft neck tissue of their prey

The Smilodon mainly hunted larger prey such as bison, deer, and small mammoths, though it was also a scavenger, suggesting it was a social animal. It would have found smaller, nimbler prey more difficult, and this may have contributed to its demise. However, the Smilodon's extinction coincides with the arrival of humans who were known to have hunted many native species.

Goal: To develop and sustain a breeding population
Requirements:
- Needs fossils of extinct animal in order to extract DNA
- Fund the millions of dollars in research in order to investigate and continue the scientific process.
- Suitable environment/habitat
- appropriate diet designed for growth and development

De-extinction involves taking DNA from the extinct species and implanting it into cells of a living relative. This can be done using Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT), a common form of cloning. In this process, the nucleus of a host egg is inactivated using UV radiation, and the nucleus of the extinct animal is put into the enucleated egg and allowed to divide/multiply (Stocum, 2013). The resulting embryo contains the DNA of the initial nucleus, therefore giving life to the extinct species. This technique was used in the case of the Southern gastric-brooding frog, where Professor Archer and his team used SCNT to implant a Southern gastric-brooding frog nucleus into the egg of a living relative, the great barred frog (Mixophyes fasciolatus)
