They’re half way there!

Now all they need is a military contract for woolly mice...

I’m starting to see shades of “Jurassic Park”.

The scientists at Colossal Biosciences demonstrate the lowest form of human intelligence.

Rats are coo. Creatu3ss, smart, BUT the problem is that they leave trails of using wherever they go in order to mark their trails so they can get back when they go exploring. No thanks!

I thought they’d have tiny tusks.

Looks like they'd make a nice feather duster. I'm sure I've seen that done, on Tom and Jerry.

Not sure I’d want mastodon or wooly mammoths back in the us- nor several species that once roamed here, American lions, camels, some type of Sabre toothed tigers (they had another name, maybe smiladons?) Jaguars (we still have a few I guess), and wolves the size of Grey hound buses practically. Some truly wild apex predators. I guess the lions we had were even larger than lions in Africa today. They had to be bigger to cope with extreme cold-

Me too. No tusks nearly wrecked my day. I was hoping for something like this.

Lol- 20,years later we will have spent 100 trillion dollars and get one that is about 3 foot tall if the military contract it out. Too much red tape lol

I get that pure research sometimes leads to unexpected breakthroughs.

But it seems to me that the time and money spent on this project would be better spent working on something more practical.

For example, when I grab for a screwdriver from my tool drawer why do I always get the wrong kind on the first try?
