Scientists have sequenced a nearly complete woolly mammoth genome, which should bolster efforts to resurrect the Stone Age zoological rock star.
Working with two mammoth specimens excavated from different parts of Russia and from different eras -- one nearly 45,000 years old, the other just 4,300 years old -- an international team of scientists has sequenced a nearly complete genome for the extinct pachyderm. The achievement provides the most complete snapshot yet of what a woolly mammoth was, which also means we're as close as we've been in a few thousand years to seeing, in person again, what a mammoth is.

Of course. I will feed him, water him and take him out for exercise. I will love him until the day I die.
Will they sound like Ray Romano?
I’m doomed.
You get one of these, a tassie tiger and a sabre toothed cat and you have a billion dollar circus.
From now on it shall be known as “The Cool Rule’’.
Crap. His whingy voice is in my head now. At least it replaced 20 years of “Midnight at the Oasis”.
That’s a brown ghettopotamaus. Do not confuse ghettofauna with MAGAfauna.
You should give a heads up before posting that.

Could they survive the global warming?
Hmmm. Well... let’s see what your next report card looks like and then we’ll think about it.
We just lost a chunk of the sun. These fags are gonna be burning coal in their apartments like a Chinese death cult.
Mammoths will take over the world!
It’s like that Twilight Zone episode where these nuts all think the Earth is getting hotter when it’s freezing.
A more prescient TV episode I’ve never seen.
Maybe Kolchak.
ROFL! I love Gary Larson’s Far Side! This has been a really fun thread! I hope all of you are having a wonderful Sunday evening.
You just made the list.
True! After standing there with with his mouth hanging open, my baby brother started asking those rapid-fire kid questions about how old Henry went to the bathroom. Did that thing screw off like the lid on a jar of peanut butter? How did he go Number Two? And on and on. But the funniest thing was the guard. He was trying so hard not to laugh his mouth was working and twisting and that made his chin strap kind of bob up and down. And then I was trying not to laugh at that!
You never know what the kiddies will remember about those family vacations years later lol.
Could we start with the de-extinction of something better? Conservative Democrats? 🤓

Doesn't that look easy? There are just two minor things to keep in mind:
1. Right-click on the picture you will post, click on "Copy Image Link", and then paste it into your command. (Firefox and MS Edge call it "Image Link", but Brave calls it "Image Address".)
2. You will want to control your picture's width, as a percentage of the screen's width. Here's how:
To add a Width limit: <img src="Image Link" width="x%"/>, where x is anything from 1 to 100
