I'm personally not sure how cloning is at all effective in resurrecting a specie of animal.
By producing animals simply by cloning, all the animals will have the exact same genes and traits, leading to incest and shit. The gene pool would be so narrow that a simple disease could VERY easily, quickly, and effectively wipe out the specie once again. Similar to the tasmanian devil epidemic, in which the species was so inbred that a form of contagious cancer ravaged the population.

Well yeah, what I meant was that the clones as a specie would not last that long. Some kind of disease will wipe them out before that.
And if it isn't one disease, then it's another, because they all share the exact same genes.
