Reply to comment by a_weak_child in How do we have more woolly mammoth DNA than dodo DNA if woolly mammoths died off thousands of years ago and dodos only died off a few hundred? by Memer9456

I'm pretty sure you've misunderstood. I can see there being some ambiguity from the wording of the question, but the topic flair on the question is "paleontology", not "genetics" or "biology". I think it's safe to say they're asking about "having" DNA in the sense of having samples from it, not "having" DNA as in sharing DNA with those species.
