"De-extinction" science has advanced dramatically in the past two decades .
Technology is no longer a significant hurdle to reviving recently extinct species.
Some companies aren't waiting to answer that question.
One company plans to bring back three extinct species: the dodo, the Tasmanian tiger and the woolly mammoth.
The goal of de-extinction is to fill ecological niches that have stood empty since the original species disappeared.
Aurochs, the wild ancestors of domestic cattle, once roamed across North Africa , Asia and nearly all of Europe .
The dodo was one of the largest terrestrial animals in its ecosystem in Mauritius .
The thylacine was Tasmania 's only marsupial apex predator.
"To get some impact, you need to have a lot of animals," an ecologist said.
Reintroductions can lead to clashes between humans and wildlife.
