Hmm. Maybe the Republican elephant could get a DNA infusion from the real deal!

I read somewhere that they would have to implant woolly mammoth DNA into a female elephant egg and what would result would be a cross. Several such implantations would result in something that resembled a woolly but would never be the real thing.

Obviously these people didn't learn a thing from the 3 Jurassic Park movies.

Can you imagine the hunting fees Jurassic park could have made?

elephant egg???

Aren't elephants mammals? Geez, I've screwed the pooch if they aren't (no personal comments, please). The only mammal, to my knowledge, that propagates via eggs is the curious duckbill platypus.

But, hey, maybe someone can make a buck selling elephant eggs, right on the carny midway, next to Gork's Global Warming or Cooling (pick one) booth.

Yes, and, like all mammals, the female produces eggs, the male produces sperm, the sperm fertilizes the egg, and the fertilized egg develops into the young, either inside the mother, or outside (platypuses and echidnas).
