    species gone extinct in Defiance and real-life doomsday vaults

    a lot is being made of earth species being wiped out due to the holocaust. in real life several DNA vaults have been established to prevent permanent extinction of species in case an extinction level event occurs. will the show reflect on the recovery of these?

    Well, for bovine species specific. It is already covered that some virus or the like annihlated them, so even if we could bring more cows out or clone them, they would fall victim to that virus and die all over again just meaning lots of wasted time/resource. I'm sure that the terraforming had a lot more than just extinction level destruction to terrain. It quite possibly introduced new virus/bacteria/etc that life on earth couldn't compete with or couldn't survive being infected/attacked by.

    the doomsday day vaults were destroyed during the battles leading up to the battle of defiance, some extremists fought to make sure the tetaforming went through. very little if any remains. ...i dont know just makin **** up

    Since the earth went through a terraforming in which the eco systems had changed drastically I'm pretty sure if you reintroduced all the species that went extinct during the event, most of them would not be able to adapt to the new environment. Hence the new species that have ...evolved in a sense. It even mentions on a loading screen the difficulty the cow had adapting, but the pow (those weird snouty animals), I guess a pig and a cow hybrid (?) have flourished.

    what about raising the resurrected species in sealed dome farms?

    More than likely an arkfall would take a dome out.
