The Dodo could return home for the first time in more than 300 years after scientists made "incredible progress" in trying to bring it back from the dead.
Researchers have been able to sequence the full genome of the famously extinct species for the first time.
The US-based biotechnology and genetic engineering company Colossal Biosciences has teamed up with the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation to find a suitable location for the large flightless birds.
Since launching in September 2021, Colossal, which is also pursuing the ‘de-extinction’ of the Woolly Mammoth and Tasmanian tiger, has raised $225 million in total funding.
