Well before we get all excited at the prospect of a slew of dinosaurs and marine reptiles tearing up the place I don't think its likely we will see those cloned any time soon.
More likely are recently extinct creatures or particularly well preserved ones. Personally I'd love to see a Tasmanian Tiger and we might find a sufficiently well preserved Mammoth in the Tundra but I'd be really surprised if we managed to get enough viable DNA to restore any creature more than about 10,000 years old - and precious few of those.
Would love to see a ground sloth too - they were enormous and all but bullet-proof but it doesn't look like they lived in areas where soft-tissue would be well enough preserved.
I imagine Dire Wolves would be popular too for some reason....

Kuusi palaa, ja on viimeinen kerta kun annan vaimoni laittaa jouluvalot!
