But they are not an ideal pet for a kid. Very demanding pet in general. Also they usually sleep all day and are only active at night. A bit like @nudge I wanted a quokka for some reason, i heard they were really friendly so i thought 'why not ask for one'. Of course, I live in a desert so it wouldn't have worked out great, i got a dog instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes its a bit complicated my mom is Serbian and my Dad is Lebanese, Columbian, but has the French passport because he was a french citizen. I got the french passport and 2 years after my birth my mom got the french passport, so although my ethnicity is not french, my nationality is. Anyway I live in Dubaï but dont get it wrong Im not from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote The Tasmanian tiger is extinct, but it may not stay that way While the Tasmanian tiger has vanished from the planet, it is possible it may roam the earth once again. Earlier this year, NPR reported the "de-extinction" company Colossal Biosciences announced plans to genetically resurrect the bizarre looking creature—which, despite its name, is not remotely related to a tiger. The four-legged animal is actually a marsupial, in the same family as kangaroos, and looks like a mashup of several species. Picture a bare possum-like tail, the body of a wolf with stripes along the back, the pinched face of a fox, and a pouch on its belly. Voila: the Tasmanian tiger, also called the Tasmanian wolf. Hunting in Australia and Tasmania was encouraged by the government for the protection of cattle and, unsurprisingly, led to the rapid demise of the species. But scientists in 2017 discovered that a lack of genetic diversity also caused its downfall. A study published in the journal Nature found a steep decline in diversity began as long as 70,000 to 120,000 years ago. If Colossal succeeds in bringing back the Tasmanian tiger, it will be an all-new species. The plan is to create a hybrid animal, using "CRISPR gene editing technology to splice bits of recovered thylacine DNA into the genome of a Dasyurid — a family of carnivorous marsupials such as the numbat and Tasmanian devil that are the extinct animal's closest relatives." https://www.npr.org/2022/12/06/1140860262/the-long-lost-remains-of-the-last-known-tasmanian-tiger-have-been-found-in-a-cup 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
