      I would like to see the Bramble Cay melomys – a small rodent from a sandy Australian island. It went extinct only ten years ago because of the rising water levels linked to climate change – the island on which it lived got flooded, and that was it.
      I would like to figure out if there’s any way in which we could have prevented the extinction.

      Maybe a giant sloth, or a dodo, or an archeopteryx.. I’d like to see so many!
