Scientists Have This Animal’s DNA and Are Trying to Bring It Back

The last known Tasmanian tiger died at Beaumaris Zoo, Hobart, on 7 September 1936. A Melbourne team working with Colossal has read a genome from museum specimens; a live animal by 2036 is a stated hope, and the forest animal is an original illustration.

Puerto Rico Lost Power for Almost 11 Months. What 90 Days Would Do, and How to Get Ready

After Hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico went nearly eleven months without restored grid power, the longest blackout in United States history. The film summarizes planning guidance from FEMA, Ready.gov, and the American Red Cross, and it labels some photographs as file images.

Deinocheirus

These giant arms had no body for 50 years. They were about 2.4 meters long, found in 1965 in Mongolia’s Nemegt rocks, and stood in for the animal for nearly fifty years. A 2014 description assembled a large ornithomimosaur with a broad toothless bill; the night dig and the river scene are original illustrations, not footage from the dig.

Field notes

Tasmanian tiger (opens in a new tab)

The forest walk is an original illustration and is synthetic. Museum mounts and the fat-tailed dunnart photographs are credited on YouTube. The 2036 date is a hope stated around the Melbourne and Colossal genome work, not an animal that has been born.

Puerto Rico grid (opens in a new tab)

A preparedness field log, not a generated landscape. The description credits archival photographs and says a Paris crowd picture and a later Manhattan skyline are file images. The outage timeline is the historical record after Hurricane Maria. The household steps are planning estimates from FEMA, Ready.gov, and the American Red Cross, not a forecast for one home.

Deinocheirus (opens in a new tab)

The night dig and the river animal are original illustrations, not 1965 footage. The body plan follows Lee and colleagues, Nature, 22 October 2014: a large ornithomimosaur, a broad toothless bill, tall neural spines, fish remains, and stomach stones. How the claws were used is a reading of the bones.

Abyssal oasis (opens in a new tab)

About eleven minutes. Footage and stills are credited to Ifremer, the National Oceanography Centre, NOAA, NASA, and others listed on YouTube. Vent biology is summarized from the published discovery record, including the 1977 Alvin dives. Europa and Enceladus are mentioned for similar rock-and-water chemistry, not as places where life has been found.

Dyatlov Pass, part 2 (opens in a new tab)

The film’s leading account is a slab of hard snow set loose by the cut of the campsite. Faint radiation on two pieces of clothing is tied to thorium mantles in camp lanterns. This note does not describe injuries. The uploads feed used here begins with this part; an earlier part may sit outside those fifteen entries.

Physics & Standards

Anatomical Realism

Where a film rebuilds an animal or a place, the picture is original CGI or an original illustration made for the channel. Bone proportions and joint limits follow the published anatomy that film is using. The frame is a reconstruction. It is not a camera record of a living animal or of the historical hour.

Kinematic & Optical Physics

Movement is a reading of those joints, not a claim that a simulation certified the shot. Renders are graded for a physical camera, including a 35mm optical look. A physics engine does not validate every frame.

Open Citation Index

The films are published on YouTube, and that address is the citation. Descriptions name the papers, expeditions, and photographs in use. This page is a catalog. It is not a journal article, and there is no separate dataset.

About

Nature History Science publishes short and longer documentary films on nature, science, and history. The public channel is Nature History Science (opens in a new tab), UCJWHLIpmkOjMdyP0yBKfJRQ. This site is the catalog of those films.
