Colossal Biosciences founder Ben Lamm is working to revive the woolly mammoth and the dodo.

The company is also working on giving birth to animals using artificial wombs in a lab.

Lamm 's company recently announced that it had completed a $ 200 m funding round.

He also hopes to revive an extinct Tasmanian marsupial called the thylacine.

Colossal Biosciences plans to make the tools it develops with application to conservation available for free.

Lamm stresses that bringing back extinct mammals is not just a philanthropic pursuit.

He hopes that if his implausible-sounding project succeeds, it will inspire a new generation of would-be biologists.
