This might shock you, but Earth is in the midst of a mass extinction right now.

And it's all thanks to us meddling humans.

In fact, more than one in five species on the planet today face extinction, and that's

predicted to rise to 50% by the end of the century unless we do something about it.

But what if I told you, extinction isn't as permanent as you think?

Thanks to the wonders of science, we might even be able to turn back the hands of time

by reviving some long-lost species.

So without further ado, let's explore some extinct animals that might walk the earth once more.

You're listening. You're listening to be amazed. that might walk the earth once more.

What has huge tusks, a furry winter coat and weighs up to six tons?

Woolly mammoths, of course.

Naturally, none of us have seen these breathtaking giants in our lifetimes because they went extinct thousands of years ago.

Although they were once thought to have vanished during the last ice age, a recent

discovery has revealed that the last isolated colony of around 500 to 1,000 woolly mammoths actually lived on

Wrangel Island in the Arctic Ocean as recently as 4,000 years ago. Unlike the elephants we know

today which populate habitats like the savannas of Africa in Asian jungles, woolly mammoths could

be found in the tundra, which stretched across northern Asia,

many parts of Europe, and the northern part of North America. Their smaller ears, shorter tails,

and extra thick coats protected them from frostbite and made them well adapted to these chilly

conditions there. In fact, the woolly mammoth played such an integral role in the upkeep of this

environment that it has also been

nicknamed the mammoth step. Many scientists think the woolly mammoths died off when the weather
