Pyrenean Ibex

The Pyrenean Ibex officially went extinct in 2000, before being ‘resurrected’ nearly a decade later in 2009.

Scientists used DNA taken from preserved epidermal samples to create a clone of a female Pyrenean Ibex, which was able to make it through gestation and even birth before dying shortly after of lung deformities.

Cause of Extinction: extensive hunting during the 19th century.
