Do you think the Elephant, the pride of the GOP is a purposeless beastie? The Mammoth is it’s older bro with a wooly coat so it can move lumber in Alaska as well as the tropics.
How do you know it can be trained? The people of India have spent 1000s of years training elephants. African elephants, not so much. How do we know if Wooly Mamouths can be trained at all?
Think of the tremendous cost that this project would entail,if it is successful. Why? We have bulldozers and other moving machines that can move anything in Alaska that we need moved.
It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.
Even the scientist who cloned Dolly says that it is not practical to clone animals. Hundreds of attempts had to be abandoned because of deformaties, and even the ones that were successful had to be put down early because they aged at a rapid rate.
