Great. They are already in the process of cloning Mastodons they found frozen in the tundra. Now they will have a cloned predator to eat them.

What could possibly go wrong?

and if they are successful....

Why clone an animal that was dumb enough to Darwin Award Winner itself??

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

Kitties are cute. Then they grow up to eat your head off.

Cloning prehistoric Lion Ping!

[Alas Babylon!]

The cave lion is a subspecies of lion that went extinct around 12,400 years ago. It was one of the largest subspecies of a lion to have ever lived. Scientists believes it was as much as ten percent larger than modern lions. It's often depicted in cave paintings as having some kind of collar fluff and possibly stripes.

Hey! If they clone the Megalodon shark it would be called a CLONE SHARK!

Did these people not watch Jurassic Park?

[libertylover]

I guess they didn't read Jurassic Park.

Hoax?

IIRC, there’s an area of northern Siberia that is being developed into a Pleistocene park. Non-native grasses to that area are being eradicated and only flora that is from that age allowed to grow.

Perhaps one day Mammoths will roam again to be eaten by cave lions.

Let me know when they dig up a Dire Wolf.

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.

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

Ayla? Jondalar?
