Mammoth PinGGG!.......................
Cool!
I guess this means he (or she) was never a Pfizer or Moderna injectee.
The idea that RNA breaks down within hours after death has likely prevented researchers from attempting to study these valuable molecules in mammoths and other ancient animals.

Similar ideas or Consensus Thinking prevents positive exploration of ideas in all scientific disciplines. These brave people bucked the norm and have managed to survive in their field without major attacks and scathing criticisms from their fellow researchers ... so far.
In the past, elephants lived in North America, South America and I think we should clone and reintroduce a few here and there where there’s sufficient room for them to roam.
Make a new one and it can be the symbol for MAGA (instead of the GOP elephant). Make the Mamoths great again!
Mammoth. That was Van Halen was originally called
Maybe Mammoth Cave National Park could acquire a few cloned mammoths and have them live in a well-fenced area for visitors to see.
Right now I am raising an Angus/Holstein cross beef steer. It’s like having an 800 pound TODDLER on your hands!
Wonder how it would be raising up my own Mammoth? Who could I get to butcher it? Would I need Cavemen to do the job? How many freezers would it fill? ;)
Bkmk
If/when these are resurrected, the uses for those resurrected animals will be beyond the reach of wildlife enforcement agencies for the same reason it’s still legal to trade in the ivory of mammoths and mastodons. Because they ceased being within the purview of wildlife enforcement when they went extinct.
So the best part about ‘reviving’ the Woolly Mammoth will be getting to hunt them on one of the high-fence game preserves in Texas. And now that private companies are cloning everything from polo ponies to pet dogs and cats, it’s as certain as God made little green apples that somebody, maybe not in Texas, but somewhere, will be selling Woolly Mammoth trophy hunts. And if people are willing to pay a $25,000 trophy fee for an African bull elephant that’s old and winding down, imagine what they’ll pay to get to hunt a mammoth in its prime.
Ken Owen is getting along in years but I’d bet he’s got a few more 4-bore double rifles left in him.
