Not much is known about the Goff's pocket gopher that once lived in the sandy soil of Brevard County, Florida in the USA. These pocket gophers, like many pocket gophers, created networks of tunnels underground to eat underground vegetation. It is thought the growing human population encroached on the Goff's pocket gopher's habitat causing their extinction by 1955. Although Jurassic Park is fiction, scientists are working on several de-extinction projects. In fact, in 2003 scientists did bring back the extinct Pyrenean ibex, a type of wild goat, for 7 minutes before it died, showing de-extinction is possible. Goff's pocket gopher might be a candidate. Scientists would potentially use DNA from any specimens that have been collected. If the Goff's pocket gopher was brought back from extinction, could it survive in Florida, USA today?
