Dear fellow students，
I’m so honored to speak here on behalf of our group.
After a heated discussion，we agreed that the dodo is the very animal that is well worth cloning.On the one hand，compared with the aurochs，the dodo is much smaller，which means that the dodo will consume much less food①.Besides，the dodo became extinct fairly recently so its DNA is still in good condition.On the other hand，the aurochs cannot live without grasslands，while the dodo can adapt to the hot climate easily.②
If the dodo is cloned，that will be of great benefit to us.Because it can not only be a friendly animal but also be an ideal pet for families with children.What’s more，it may produce large nutritious eggs and tasty meat for people.
All in all，the dodo would be the best choice to be brought③ back to life!
That’s all! Thank you.
