    No offence to Robin Williams, but I think having a living specimen of an ancient species who lived millions of years ago might help scientists advance evolutionary biology by a lot

    Or maybe not, but look at that little guy, he’s so cute :D

        Yeah. I dunno. They look like that weird alien parasite from TNG that tried to take over star fleet while eating bugs.

      That specimen might also die really quickly considering it’s a whole different world, not even the atmosphere is similar, and without more of it’s species to multiply I would say it would be really cool to see but not super helpful to study
