...recreate the Christmas Island rat? I mean, it's adorable, and it seems like a better idea than mammoths (not to mention easier). Also, we know it's extinction is our fault.
But should we? It's apparently 95% similar to the Norway brown rat, so it wouldn't be a lot of work. However, we don't have the full sequence and it would have a messed up sense of smell.
Which seems a horrible thing to do to a rat. Just saying.
