This is the world's first artificial egg system [music] to create and grow birds completely without shells to term [music] successfully, repeatably, and healthy.
Like it's the first step in developing an actual artificial egg.
>> [music]
>> But they're overselling their claims by saying it's an artificial egg.
It's an artificial egg shell.
The purpose of this creation is to create a modular system to scale ex-utero development of birds of any size ranging from small birds and parrots to chickens to eventually things like the South Island giant moa without the need of surrogates or shell.
They might be able to use this technology to help them make a genetically modified bird, but that's just a genetically modified bird.
It's not a moa.
And it can't be a moa because the sort of hereditary ancestry that you need [music] to be a moa is gone.
try to parallel everything at >> [music] >> at Colossal and actually develop systems that we'll need later in the future today.
So we didn't want to wait till we're ready to birth a giant moa.
We actually wanted to start working on the engineering challenges for surrogacy and birth now.
And that's [music] a this is a major step towards that progress.
It might be interesting from a from a kind of general kind of scientific research perspective, but [music] these methods have been a a long time coming and and I do think that we probably [music] best focusing our funds on trying to preserve species that we we we already [music] know that we need to protect now.
