Scientists Working to Clone Extinct Frog

Have grown embryos containing frog's DNA

A team of Australian scientists has managed to grow embryos containing the revived DNA of the extinct gastric-brooding frog, a species that incubated the prejuvenile stages of their offspring in the stomach of the mother.

According to conservation biologist Michael Mahony, this represents a crucial first step in an attempt to bring a species back to life.
