You wake up and find yourself in early 20th century Japan. You're a hunter, hunting for the last Japanese wolf, behind you, is a wolf, the last Japanese wolf.

Do you shoot it?

This. If it's the last one it can't procreate anyway, so it is already basically extinct. May as well get some dinner.

Yes, there are no more wolves left, Japanese people killed them all, even though they worship wolves as gods.

Not only that, but the red-colored version of wolf they hunted to extinction was unique to Japan.

(That's why Horo is colored like a fox BTW - her color scheme is that of the extinct Japanese Wolf)

If you can get it's genetic material, you can make a clone with with the stem cells of another wolf, or something, I'm not sure how cloning works. You just would have to find a way to preserve it until cloning technology reached a point where it can be done.

Guys, looking up Wikipedia the Japanese woolf is just a subspecies of the regular Canis Lupus or regular gray wolf. Taking it's DNA is pretty much pointless, the only thing you'd be preserving is slight color differentiation from other wolves.

>> No.1917701

Are any of you even man enough to eviscerate the animal into dinner pieces? Let alone take its life?

You are not even man enough to step into society and become a proud, functioning member. How does a failure like yourself have the balls to take the life of another living being if you have not already shot some fuckers at school?

It could be a pregnant female, generally 5-6 pups are born in a litter.

Call one Adam and another Eve and they're off and going.

It's pretty unlikely that a population of less than 10 individuals has any hope of bringing a species (especially in this case a subspecies) back from extinction. We're facing this problem now with the California Condor since even though there's hope for the species after coming back from 22 to now over 300 there's still not enough genetic differences so it doesn't bode well for them.

Since in this case it's a subspecies of animal all you're trying to preserve is the slight genetic differences not found in other wolves which you're unlikely to get through massive inbreeding.

In the wild it's unlikely, however in captivity it could probably be done (however you might need to artificially inseminate them). A shitload of dog/cat breeds are created by selectively breeding a very small group of animals, ie. Ragdoll cats.

Yeah, you'd get some unwanted genetic traits being passed on though. You can certainly do it but with so little genetic diversity there's too many things that can go wrong. A single disease can easily wipe out the whole population for example or some horrendous genetic disorder could prevent the population from continuing.

For example banana trees are highly at risk because even though there's millions of them almost all of them today are descended from a very very small group that have been bred without seeds and planted through a kind of bulb and have little genetic diversity. There's an effort now to try and collect what seeds are left to save the banana plant since any number of things can happen to wipe them all out.
