This might be impressive gene-editing but it’s nonsense as “de-extinction”. They’re not the same and they can’t be. At the end of this piece, the company basically admits that it’s just a flashy claim to drive money into their company. This is not conservation, & it diverts money from work that is.
Scientists claim they’ve made ‘pivotal step’ in bringing back the dodo for first time in 300 years
Thousands of dodos could return within a decade according to Colossal Biosciences, a ‘de-extinction’ company – but experts warn of ‘moral hazard’

Whip spider (Paraphrynus laevifrons) covered with chloropid fly puparia. The parasitoid fly attacks the eggs carried by the female. When done, the maggots climb on the "childless" mom's back and pupate. She protects them during this period thanks to her motherly instincts.
