It's a coicidence of chronology. They were recent enough that we can revive them, and that the ecosystem still remembers theme. Plus humans are heavily implicated in their extinction.
I think the best places for them will be those currently locked in ice, such as Greenland or Antarctica. Those are fast losing their ice sheets, but they won't be actually warm for a long time.
