I would have thought we'd learn to stop making the current ones go extinct, before we try to bring back the old ones
But here we are

We’re doing it in chronological order, starting with the mammoth, and work back from there.

they might not be 100% extinct. theres been a couple good sightings in the last several years

Assuming those sightings are more reputable than bigfoot sightings, its still functionally extinct.

Do it. This is the first step to domesticating them.

They haven't even brought back aurochs yet, successfully.

No, but there's been a few attempts that have resulted in various new strains of cow-beasts.
