We didn't want to wait till we were ready to birth a giant moa. We actually wanted to start working on the engineering challenges for surrogacy and birth now,

We wanted to build something that nature has done a pretty good job of developing and make it better and scalable and even more efficient,

Every new scalable system for de-extinction is ultimately a biology problem wrapped in an engineering problem,... Restoring species like the South Island Giant Moa … requires building an entirely new incubation system where no surrogate exists and scales in ways that ordinary biology simply doesn’t. It’s a major milestone for Colossal and a foundational technology for our de-extinction toolkit

We have not set a date publicly [for when a moa could hatch],

We didn’t just copy nature,
