woolly mammoth steaks here we come!

But it wasn’t fair .... the climate changed!

Colossal’s landmark de-extinction project will be the resurrection of the Woolly Mammoth - or more specifically a cold-resistant elephant with all of the core biological traits of the Woolly Mammoth. It will walk like a Woolly Mammoth, look like one, sound like one, but most importantly it will be able to inhabit the same ecosystem previously abandoned by the Mammoth’s extinction.

Looks like we are not all worried about global warming.

Exactly how far below zero and for how long would it have to be to freeze dry a hunk of meat weighing many tons?

AND THIS CORE VALUE CANNOT BE OVERSTATED:

THE WOOLLY MAMMOTH IS A VITAL DEFENDER OF THE EARTH.

The thought of a naturally occurring freeze drying process is shocking to say the least. This beast had to have been covered by a glacial avalanche or something. If it was a sudden extreme drop in temperature similar to freeze drying...if it happened once it can happen again. Probably will.

On reflection:

Is this worthy research? should it receive a Golden Fleece award?

GOAL
Colossal will revolutionize history and be the first company to use CRISPR technology successfully in the de-extinction of previously lost species. On the journey we will build radical new software tools and technologies to advance the science of genomics overall.

(it is a very measurable goal, there can be benifits along the way. A man on the moon within a decade worked. cleare visual, measurable.)

“I’ve followed the ground-breaking work of George Church for years. I have also invested in and coached Ben Lamm when he founded Hypergiant. These two are a powerhouse team who have the ability to completely shift our understanding of modern genetics while developing innovative technologies that not only help bring back lost species, but advance the entire industry. I am proud to be an investor in their journey.”

Thanks Red Badger.

Clone it up!

I hope I live long enough to see a living mammoth.

Very cool stuff, SC!

Fangs!!

  How did a woolly mammoth freeze with tropical flowers in his mouth and stomach?

  The mammoths liked to feed in the periglacial areas. By being right up against the glaciers the were shielded fro the north winds, and the face of the glacier reflected sunlight back into the ground. The area near the glacier was much warmer than the surrounding tundra. It was well watered with melt water, and the soil was rich in minerals from the glacial till, and as loose as a well tended garden. Plants that are now exclusively tropical were better adapted to cold and variable day length.

  Soooo, a mammoth feeds in the richest local environment, right up next to the glacier, and suddenly there's an avalanche instantly pounding the mammoth into the dirt and packing it in ice...

It got real cold real fast.
