Fecha de emisión: Jun 27, 2013

The gastric brooding frog lays its eggs just like any other frog -- then swallows them whole to incubate. That is, it did until it went extinct 30 years ago. Paleontologist Michael Archer makes a case to bring back the gastric brooding frog and the thylacine, commonly known as the Tasmanian tiger. (Filmed at TEDxDeExtinction.) Paleontologist Michael Archer is working to bring back his favorite extinct animal: the Tasmanian tiger.
