That's because MAN domesticated wolves to protect them from the cats that would eat them. :D

[sparklite2]

I’m glad it’s the Russians doing this and not the US. Our country has too many alarmists who see catastrophes under every bed and would block cloning attempts.

[Salamander]

He spotted the lion and broke into an aria?

WTH?

I was real young when I first say them, and the concept of actors in suits was beyond me. At one time I went to a county fair. They had a guy in a smokey bare outfit, and the guy really freaked me out.

I’ve been Santa for the last 25 years, and there’s a certain year when some kids have trouble. It’s about 3-5. One year they’ll be great. The next year you freak them out. The next year they’re okay again.

To this day, I despise monkeys.

7-8 ft long and 700-800 lbs. What could go wrong!

[Red Badger]

And so the Cat Vs Dog rivalry was born!.......................

[Covenantor]

About the size of the avg Grizzly, depending on how length is measured, but probably faster due to body configuration.

“I’m not sure I would call a dead lion “in perfect condition”. It’s Dead!”

Are you going to quibble about every little detail?

[captain_dave]

Not Evvvrryyyy little condition....just the, like, really Big little conditions. ;-)

Beowulf9 I am going to ignore that horrible pun. There is no need to clone a Megalodon. Haven’t you seen the TV show on cable (Animal Planet?) that details the hunt for LIVE megalodons going on even as I type this.

Complete with shots supporting the return of Megalodon such as whales cut in half with one bite, ships sunk with live videos from the sea bottom. Man, just when I was about to go in the water.

Ayla? Jondalar?

[Alas Babylon!]

I don’t see ‘cave MAN’ on that list of ‘Prey’..................

Check out post # 16:

"--Diet: Meat"

I think caveman is made of meat.

[Red Badger]

LOL!..................kinda ‘generic’...............

[Alas Babylon!]

Humans killed a lot of their prey, in many cases starving them out, and I’ll bet they worked hard to kill the lions, too.

Amazing what 20-30 little weakling but extremely cunning and communicating humans can do with spears, bows, arrows and fire.

“They had a guy in a smokey bare outfit, and the guy really freaked me out.”

I’ll bet.

[Alas Babylon!]

Smokey bare..

Now that A SIGHT I wouldn't want to see, good buddy!

[Fred Nerks]

Nope. What we need is a couple of million cloned genuine Vikings. They could round up the muzzies and drive them back to the sand holes they came from.

Clone an extinct predator? Not while the lions and tigers on the planet are both threatened species and poachers are destroying what’s left of the rhino and elephant.
