Bluebuck (Blue Antelope)

Nexor reports the Bluebuck, also known as the Blue Antelope, as an extinct African antelope species flagged in connection with Colossal Biosciences' announced de-extinction program. According to the dispatch, it holds the distinction of being the only large African mammal species to have died out in recorded history, having gone extinct over 200 years ago. The broadcast identifies it as the sixth declared de-extinction project undertaken by Colossal Biosciences, placing it within a broader pattern of species-revival initiatives the dispatches have tracked under that organization.
