Well, critter was likely an herbivore. Don’t think there’s too much to worry about behavior-wise.
Imagine if an actual dinosaur is found in permafrost.
My tagline coming truer everyday.
Yup, sooner or later they’ll find “The Thing from Another World”.
Bring back t-rex and the saber toothed tiger!
That's the sort thing I was hinting at, and maybe a mastodon or two. Sooner or later, I'd bet some other well preserved ancient creatures will be found.
Thanks Red Badger. The mane thing to remember is, cloning extinct species was very unpopular, according to a gallop poll.
It is conjectured that there was a sudden cold spell that killed many Pleistocene era creatures and preserved their bodies in Siberia’s permafrost. The cold spell could have been due to meteorite impacts or an especially sharp turn toward a cold climactic phase from one of the planet’s recognized climactic cycles.
De-extinction has been discussed for years. It looks like one of the methods - not reviving old DNA a la Jurassic Park but getting the info and then gene editing the DNA from a related species that still exists could well happen soon.
I don’t see the problem with bringing a species back - especially not if it was humans who made the species extinct in the first place.
So, what was the temperature before the sudden freeze?
According to globull climate change extortionists, there was never a warm area up there in Siberia, because it was always covered in snow and ice. (Just like Antarctica, Greenland, Alaska, etc.
Will you be here all week?
Methinks that area was much warmer then. There's a whole cottage industry about Earth either tilting its axis due to some external force or Crustal Displacement. Some of it makes more sense than the theory of Uniformitarianism.
The real scientists have convincing evidence from sunspot cycles that we are entering a solar minimum like the one that caused the Little Ice Age-and the climate around here is slowly but surely getting cooler-based on that, re-introducing a horse that can live and be utilized for transportation and work in a frigid climate makes sense-more people in places like Alaska live in the outback/bush as self-supporting entrepreneurs than live in cities-I’d guess that a new breed of horse that thrives in extreme cold would be welcome-cheaper than a snow mobile, too...
The Yakutian horses are still alive and well...............
