Let’s not be L-Seven!

Oh no, never!

LOL!!! :)

[Huskrrrr]

“Bigger. Why does it always have to be bigger.”

[Interesting Times]

If you’re going to manipulate their genomes anyway, why not make them a foot tall to be household pets?

[oldasrocks]

I’d much rather they figure out how to breed some common sense back into people.

[Starboard]

Now just imagine what some cultures would pay for those tusks. Hehe

[bigbob]

Do the passenger pigeon next.

[laplata]

I want a T Rex. I’ll send him to DC.

[pas]

Great. Now giant cow farts will cause global warming faster.

[dfwgator]

But you won't fool The Children of the Revolution!

[Farmerbob]

Is this a good idea? If cow flatulence is causing climate change, imagine the damage a couple mastodons will do. I also think manatees need to be eradicated too for the good of mother earth.

Anyone who thinks this is real needs to lookup the word “epigenetics”.

If a pregnant mother is too stressed, watches the wrong shows on TV, is active vs. inactive, drinks alcohol, etc... it has profound effects on the fetus growing inside her.

Do you think that maybe BEING A DIFFERENT SPECIES would have any effects???

If a genetically engineered animal is born alive in this experiment, it will be nothing like the woolly mammoths that roamed the land tens of thousands of years ago.

Besides a dairy cow, I've been begging Beau to let me raise these for ages. Still a no-go. :(

[Vaduz]

Well cattle prices should drop two barbies needed now.

[euram]

I suppose hunting them will be restricted to men wearing animal skins and using spears.

[CatHerd]

Those are so adorable!

I want one! But I want a cute mini wooly mammoth even more. I could ride him to the grocery store and hang the bags on his curly tusks for the ride home.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

***Bah, I’ve seen articles like this from when I was a kid.***

Same here. They need to “Put up or shut up.”

[PIF]

Of course there will have to be a natural check on them so next animal to be resurrected:

Smilodon: natural Woolly Mammoth predator.

[laplata]

He’ll be on a mission to eat them.

[seowulf]

At least we’ll have something to poke with our flint tipped spears when we’re back to wearing skins and living in caves after civilization has finished collapsing.

"but it will also reintroduce the woolly mammoth to the same ecosystem in which it once lived in an effort to fight climate change."

Makes me want to throw up. Even Popular Mechanics has gone woke!
