Except it really won’t be a mammoth it will be a elephant-mammoth hybrid. Which may or may not be viable in the long term. At best it will be no more successful then the attempts to resurrect the Auroch (European wild cattle) tried by the German in the late 1800s & early 1900s. The last Auroch was killed I think in Spain in the 1600s. You do see symbolic representations of the animal in European heraldry. Supposedly very fierce much like African wild cattle - said to be the most dangerous animal in Africa. So this resurrect the mammoth title is a mischaracterization.

Jurassic Park was a prophecy.

no. Dinos and mega fauna are two different propositions.

You know there are plagues that are buried, and if buried...

What’s the probability?

I know, 1930’s I think.
They’re extinct, so I want one.
There’s zero chance anything could go wrong with this...

H.G. Wells saw this in his work 'The Island of Dr. Moreau' in 1896. Mary Shelley saw similar in her work 'Frankenstein' in 1818.

God will not be mocked.

Too bad they won’t concentrate on bringing back extinct True American Patriots — Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Paul Revere, John Adams, Sam Adams, Ben Franklin, John Hancock and many others who put their lives on the line for us.

How about they work to end the virus and other problems rather than creating more problems.

We could see that helping to feed a lot of people - so that’s a second - as longs as you agree with restoring Mastodons and Colombian Mammoths

When I mean African wild cattle I mean what’s commonly called the Cape Buffalo.
From wiki ...”It is widely regarded as one of the most dangerous animals on the African continent, and according to some estimates it gores, tramples, and kills over 200 people every year... “
