Did you guys hear the news?
Woolly Mammoths will be brought back from extinction within the next 4 years.
A Dallas based company called Colossal says they'll have their tech ready by 2027 for mammoth reintroduction
I would post an article but they all kind of suck
Literally just genetically engineer a modern elephant to be more hairy and have smaller ears, woolly mammoth’s difference from modern elephants is greatly exaggerated, they really were not that different in average size from African elephants, a bit like later Neanderthal were not very different from Sapiens of the same time period, it’s likely had they survived due to natural selection they would have been almost indistinguishable and simply assimilated into modern populations
Based.
I hope they bring back the dodo and tasmanian tiger too!
>A Dallas based company called Colossal says they'll have their tech ready by 2027 for mammoth reintroduction
That would be cool, it's some jurassic park type of shit
Ive been hearing this shit since the 90s gay, Whats the point of doing this anyway?
>mammoth reintroduction
Mammoths are cool and all but why not focus on species that are currently on the verge of extinction or ones that have recently gone extinct. Could mammoths even thrive in this day and age?
Think of it like this: If we could bring mammoths back, how much easier will it be to ressurrect modern species? The air and water aren't getting any cleaner, we need to start "banking" important species to bring back once we get our shit together and clean up.

Apparently we didn't learn anything from Jurassic Park.
Have been hearing this since forever, I'll believe it when I see it.
do you think it will instinctually fear us as predators?
He's a woolly fellow.
Why not put this much effort into conserving what is already here? Elephants will probably be gone in the wild in the next 50 years
We can do both
we need to perfect cloning technology so that we can make dick hardening powder from the rarest animals in existence: the extinct ones
Convince China to establish domestic elephant and rhino farms to make their dick powder instead of poaching them.
Nah they already have tiger farms over there and boy those creatures look DEPRESSED as fuck and obese. A better solution would be to kill all chinks.
such a delusional post. the elephant population is thriving
If we can bring back Mammoths, we can bring back elephants just as well, extinction would be a solved problem, entire ecosystems could heal from this
We need elephants to bring back mammoths.
>inb4 we'll use mammoths to bring back elephants
>Mammoths will be brought back from extinction.
>no cure for baldness.
sure.
Bringing back mammoths will help cure elephant baldness
>no cure for baldness
What's wrong with being bald?
>Yes in 4 years guys believe me it will be in the next 4 years!!
>Woolly Mammoths will be brought back from extinction
This will only happen when Trump becomes president again.
Wow great now the Chinese can hunt them to make their dicks bigger
more like now they can be used for ivory carvings and general bullshit since the ban on elephant tusk doesn't cover mammoths and it's a big business between russia and china
Oh no, people are using useless animal remains to make beautiful things. Those darn [slur for current enemies of CIA luminescent youths]!
Why the fuck are you even on Wauf?
It's possible to enjoy nature without being insane and treating animals like they're sacred objects. Those mammoths are long dead, who cares if someone makes something cool out of their tusks?
You are aware of the issue of poaching live animals aren't you anon?
Yes. What does that have to do with mammoths?
They could probably be re-introduced into Siberia or the Russian north. But if it's possible to create lab grown beef, would lab grown ivory be possible?
If it does happen it will be a complete disaster like how they cloned one of those European mountain goats back in the 2000's after it went extinct and the clone died within 5 minutes of it existing
this, or they'll need to use up so much elephant dna for it to survive it'll end up looking almost like a modern elephant
I wonder how they taste
bison
Go to the gulags and you can find out:
Back in the soviet era there were multiple instances of 'workers' in Siberian forced-labor camps excavating mammoth corpses. Being that the corpses were so well preserved, and that food was so hard to come by, the workers consumed them.
These cloning projects are always the same bullshit
>J-just two more weeks!
Yeah, fuck off. I've heard it so many times it's lost all meaning. I'll only believe it when I see it
God, bring THIS motherfucker back before mammoths, at least this one is more of our fault.
Bring back the dodo too. That was also our fault and I heard those guys were delicious.
>at least this one is more of our fault.
No don't lump the rest of us to the aussie monkeys
>within the next 4 years.
Consider that you need to get elephant eggs to insert with mammoth dna and then implant that back in a lady elephant and then wait 2 years for the egg to gestate and hope the fetus is even viable.
2 more decades.
Please do NOT ressurect dinosaurs. It's not a good idea, they are not good for our global ecosystem right now, ok? Thanks
but I want dinosaurs
You can’t stop them. Life finds a way.
Seriously speaking what we will get if we get anything is probably a mammoth-elephant hybrid. Possibly a scam to get funds from dumb investors who have lots of money and little scientific knowledge like those pods shit presented as future of transport. Basically kickstarter scammers for rich people.
cry about it
Don't worry, the dinosaurs will eat enough humans to become a net positive for the ecosystem.
Dinosaurs are just birds, and chickens usually produce less methane than cows. Just kill the cows and bring back cool dinosaurs
I'm an environmentalist but there's a time when cool simply overrules whatever is good for the ecosystem and at resurrecting dinosaurs we've passed that limit by a wide margin. In other words, just fuck my world up.
Dna degrades pretty fast. Dinosaurs are orders of magnitude too old to recover anything recognizable. If a dino genetic code were a library the best we could find are broken words.
DNA doesn't remain stable long enough for there to be any usable functional dinosaur DNA samples.
Well, sometimes science is nore art than science, Morty
There wasn't this project that tried to turn a chicken into a dinosaur?
Maybe in the future, a really distant future we can have enough knowledge on the multiple dormant morphological genes that we can bring dinosaurs from birds
They tried to reverse breed it and do some manipulation to get it to produce a more primitive chicken. I don't think we got to see it as an adult though.
Dinosaurs exist right now and you can own them.
Mammoths aren't dinosaurs you fucking idiot. Still I think humans should not play god.
>it's not a good idea because I saw jurassic park
reminder that keeping dinosaurs in a zoo wouldn't be harder than keeping lions or elephants
Ok
Sorry, don't know what I was thinking
Outlaw necromancy now.
no fuck you

man moths?
for me it's ma'am moths
At this point, I've heard this exact same story over and over and over. I'm pretty sure it's just never gonna happen at this rate.
Besides, what do you do with the mammoth once it's out? Keep them in an enclosure forever?
Nah bro, fusion generators powered by room-temperature superconductors will make it a reality in 10 years tops.
>Besides, what do you do with the mammoth once it's out? Keep them in an enclosure forever?
Yeah? There's also Pleistocene Park
>colossal
grift company designed to garner as much attention as possible so it can be sold
/thread
more likely get vc monies and pay bonuses before it didn't work sorry that's why its called venture
