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.

I’ve been hearing this since the first Jurassic Park movie came out 30 years ago.

This might be just the thing to weed the meth heads and bad asses off of pit bulls.

Been hearing about UFOs for longer and they’re now ubiquitous.
I see many MAGAfauna in our future. And space aliens that aren’t Mormons or Scientoligists. The real kind. Reptilius Sapien no homo.

I can see it now - the dang things will probably have dandruff, to which humans are fatally allergic. Probably why the GEICO cave men killed them off in the first place...

For what purpose do they want the beast back?
It’s not a natural return. There is a balance. God set the balance.
Just because we can doesn’t mean we should.

I read about them wanting to this some years ago and decided I want me a baby wooly mammoth in the worst way. I could ride him to the grocery store and hang the bags from his curly tusks on the trip home. He would keep the lawn mowed. I could sell his poop for fertilizer and deer repellent. Besides, they’re cute. I want one so bad!

There’s a reason they go extinct...maybe disease...rememebr when they tried to reproduce Dolly...and I think it turned out freakish.
To: David Chase
Because it would be cool. If something will be cool it must be done. That’s the rule of cool. I just made that up and it’s a real rule. Cool.

Funny. I just thought of the exact same thing.

This promises about the same benefit as making hand held Flamethrowers available for sale at any Walmart.
