I'm torn.

I want to say tasmanian tiger because they were awesome.

But I also want to say dodo birds because they were probably fucking delicious.

The "missing link" as a creationist excuse for why god must have been involved isn't the same as actual gaps in our understanding of our own evolutionary history (which are very real):

https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/19/health/australopithecus-sediba-human-history-scli-intl/index.html
The findings help fill a gap in humankinds history, sliding in between the famous 3-million-year-old skeleton of Lucy and the handy man Homo habilis, which was found to be using tools between 1.5 and 2.1 million years ago.

https://www.britannica.com/science/missing-link
missing link, hypothetical extinct creature halfway in the evolutionary line between modern human beings and their anthropoid progenitors. In the latter half of the 19th century, a common misinterpretation of Charles Darwins work was that humans were lineally descended from existing species of apes. To accept this theory and reconcile it with the hierarchical Great Chain of Being, some fossil ape-man or man-ape seemed necessary in order to complete the chain. Today it is recognized that the relationship of modern humans to the present anthropoid apes (e.g., chimpanzees) is through common ancestors rather than through direct descent. These ancestors have yet to be identified, but ape-hominid divergence may have occurred 6 to 10 million years ago.

https://www.bu.edu/articles/2021/is-dragon-man-a-missing-link-in-human-evolution/
Dragon Mans 140,000-year-old fossilized skull, found in China, may reveal new clues about the transition between our earlier ancestors and modern humans, and mating between Homo sapiens, Denisovans, and Neanderthals

The point of my post was to suggest that if we were going to resurrect a dead species it should be one that directly contributes to a better understanding of evolution and advance the scientific community in some way. If you and others want to hyper nitpick over a few words because you think it's a dumb suggestion relative to something like the dodo because "they were probably delicious" then you can go ahead and do that but you're really picking the wrong target.

My two choices. Just because I want to see the world burn.

Titanoboa is self explanatory. Sea scorpions are these adorable little fellas...just that they're 8 feet long lol
