Scientists inch forward in efforts to resurrect an extinct giant

That’s intriguing! This is likely referring to recent advancements in the field of de-extincting species from the past using scientific methods like DNA sequencing and cloning. A well-known example is the Woolly Mammoth, a prehistoric beast that scientists hope to bring back to life. They are trying to extract DNA from preserved mammoth remains and use it to create an embryonic clone that can be carried to term by a modern elephant.

Such efforts face numerous ethical and practical challenges, but if successful, the project could open the door to the revival of other extinct species and potentially help protect endangered ones as well.

That being said, any specific extinct giant are you referring to?
