Woolly Mammoth is coming back....

What could possibly go wrong. And you wouldn't be able to afford it.
Mammoths I don't have a problem with. The problem is, they (the people doing this) won't stop at mammoths.
Neanderthals? Only if they had a written history of their species.
Actually the Flores Island Pygmies would be pretty cool. If they knew how they came to be.
Super weird animal, like a cat/marsupial blend. Look at how wide the jaw expands
I'd take one of those as a pet. Good way to go out.
No. Hand to hand combat
They already have made some hairy elephants developed.....health problems. They are going to get there.
Okay, I'm in with the spear. But I need you to take out a healthy life insurance policy for your family first. Otherwise, I'd feel bad.
This could make a good netflix series
Worth 1 million, soon to have no debt….if I survive this, what animal next?
I’ll pass on the spear, bow with 6 arrows. No on the hippo, unless I’m allowed more modern weapons
I remember the last time this was brought up, @GOHOX69 said it wasn’t possible. Has the science improved GOHOX?
They combined preserved/found DNA of the mammoth with the Asian elephant. The asian elephant is a 99.6% DNA match
Not for full genomes, no. Single genes are a breeze. Full genomes, nyah, not yet.
There's a Russian scientist that's been studying mammoth dicks for decades? Frickin Putin is a weirdo.
Count me in the I will believe it when I see it camp. Far too many scientists gloating about how they are going to do this or that in 5 years. How many of them ever work out??
That said I don't mind bringing back the mammoth. Humans existed at the same time as them, hunted them, and it shouldn't be too hard to keep them under control.

Thank you, I can't see any negatives about bringing them back in a controlled environment
They went extinct the first time because of human encroachment and a warming climate. I can't imagine it will go better for them this time around. Of course, if humans are around to take care of them they should do alright, if not be very, very warm.
Best news ever! Please let the first one be a girl.......wait, a boy.........wait.....ummm......
Oh, and P.S. - Ol' Doodle has already applied for the Woolly Mammoth sweater patent. So don't even bother.

Some renter in Iowa City would be bring that home as an " emotional support " animal for sure...
IMHO, research scientists are really good at spending money. And, the best way to get more money to spend is to say you are "close" to a breakthrough but need more money to keep the project going or expand it.
Lesson - wait for actual results.

Like prairie chickens and carrier pigeons?
Bit different than a woolly mammoth. 🦣
I get where you’re going with that and I’m very glad we were able to avoid the extinction of American bison. Videos of human butt kickings in Yellowstone wouldn’t exist.
I say bring ‘em all back. Sabre tooth tigers, cave bears. Make camping fun again!
I love it when we can get this place talking about crazy stuff like this. We'll all see whether it is true in 5 years

I'll put 50 that it's a hard no. However, I can easily clone any living human. A graduate student could do it.
