It’s an Asian Elephant with hair, what’s the point?

Cavemen with pointy sticks didn’t eradicate this animal. The Earth did. It’s just going to get eradicated again.

Now the Moa, there’s an animal we should bring back. Cuz it obviously was delicious.

We need some flying predators big enough to take a grown man. Pterodactyl gets my vote

As long as they stay away from my dogs.

Well they talked about the point, which was to help plant life. Not sure I'm buying it though.

A slightly taller rhea? Not even close to as cool as a cassowary.

Delicious enough that people at em all in just a couple generations.

And with the price of eggs…

Anything we can do, to combat climate change!

That’s a lot of fancy Turkey bacon.

If they are successful, where will this wind up? What else will they want to try to bring back?

“Your scientists were so caught up with whether they could they didn’t stop to think whether they should.”

Looks like a cassowary. Go hunt them if you dare. They can fuck you up pretty good. I’d use range weapons.

Keep your distance from those.

Hold up now, we don't know how potentially delicious these mammoths are. Could be the answer to world hunger

But less dangerous I think.

Last year, the Dallas-based firm scored an additional $60 million in funding to continue the, well, mammoth gene-editing work it started in 2021. If successful, not only will Colossal bring back an extinct species—one the company dubs a cold-resistant elephant—but it will also reintroduce the woolly mammoth to the same ecosystem in which it once lived in an effort to fight climate change, according to a recent Medium post.

"...We’re already in the process of the de-extinction of the Woolly Mammoth. Our teams have collected viable DNA samples and are editing the genes that will allow this wonderful megafauna to once again thunder through the Arctic.”
The woolly mammoth’s DNA is a 99.6 percent match of the Asian elephant, which leads Colossal to believe it’s well on its way toward achieving its goal.

Through gene editing, Colossal scientists will eventually create an embryo of a woolly mammoth. They will place the embryo in an African elephant to take advantage of its size and allow it to give birth to the new woolly mammoth. The eventual goal is to then repopulate parts of the Arctic with the new woolly mammoth and strengthen local plant life with the migration patterns and dietary habits of the beast.
