What's your stance on bringing back extinct species?

Why would the fire be in its gut? I think of it more like a controlled belch, with the methane not igniting until it exists the mouth. And it’s not out of the question for an animal’s skin to be heat-resistant enough to bear up to the residual heat from a flame moving away from it.

if the methane is expelled through its throat and ignited in its mouth the problem would be the same.    the inside of its mouth would be subjected to radiant heating from 3000 degree kelvin flame.

I made a typo - should be ‘exits’ the mouth, not ‘exists’. The methane wouldn’t ignite until it was outside the mouth. I’m routinely inches away from an open propane flame without getting burned.
