CRISPR technology to bring back wooly mammoths by 2028

Those two little dire wolf puppies are snow white. Pretty cute howling like wolves while being held in the guy's hand but I seriously doubt the originals were white. Also, by their skeletal remains the dire wolves had bigger heads and bigger jaws. Nice try not those don't look much different than wolves.
But its such a good story! That fledgling company is already up to a net worth of 10 billion.

That huge horse from the 1800's, they call him Goliath? I couldn't afford his feed bill. But they could bring him back too.
 
Colossal Biosciences aims to have woolly mammoth calves roaming the earth by late 2028 through a de-extinction project, using CRISPR technology to integrate mammoth-specific genes into Asian elephant DNA.

They have used the technology to bring back Dire Wolves.

We may see dinosaurs roam the earth again.
I have done just fine without an Ivory Bill Woodpecker much less a hairy elephant.
This is a backdoor for some government funding and control.
You see that woodpecker your land just became an environmental reserve.

I heard about this several years ago. I'm hoping they will recreate the wolf man instead. I will be glad to walk barefoot over broken glass just to shoot that SOB as payback for all those movies I saw in my youth.
Just kidding!
 

Thinking about the CRISPR technology and something my son said about the Kentucky coffee tree seedlings I planted this spring (previously dependent on mammoths for seed dispersal), running across a reference to the Dodo and a tree dependent (supposedly) on the Dodo for survival/dispersal. (Look up the term Ecological Anachronism (what my son mentioned), I got to wondering about the Dodo and CRISPR. (too much time on my hands today), and then I googled CRISPR and the Dodo.....

Sure enough, I found the above article. Now I wonder about the passenger pigeon....

I wonder how long it will be before we start bragging about "bringing back" the seagull or rat or cockroach. We can't take care of nature as it is...

We have plenty of Kentucky coffee bean trees here. They seem to do ok without mammoths
 
Evidently, we don't need no stinkin Dodo birds, Passenger pigeons, ivory bill woodpeckers, black rhinos or splendid poison frogs.

We just need whatever makes us, as individuals - happy in our own backyards. For many of us tho, that's just the almighty dollar. If we have that one solitary thing, we just can buy everything else.

I'm just sayin we don't have to have mammoths to spread coffee bean trees, they've managed to keep reseeding and growing somehow without the mammoth for many years.
I'm ok with reasonable conservation efforts to maintain current species from going extinct. If that means captive breeding programs in zoos or contained within parks.
Not really a fan of repopulating wolves or other dangerous critters where they will come in contact with people or livestock.
 
I've been told more than once, that both Neanderthals and philistines are evidently still around.
And Troglodytes...

What we're gonna do right here is go back, way back, back into time.
When the only people that existed were troglodytes...
Cave men, cave women, Neanderthal, troglodytes.
Let's take the average cave man at home, listening to his stereo.
Sometimes he'd get up, try to do his thing.
He'd begin to move, something like this,
"Dance...dance".
When he got tired of dancing alone, he'd look in the mirror,
"Gotta find a woman, gotta find a woman, gotta find a woman, gotta find a woman".
He'd go down to the lake where all the women would be swimming or washing clothes or something.
He'd look around and just reach in and grab one.
"Come here...come here".
He'd grab her by the hair.
You can't do that today, fellas, 'cause it might come off.
You'd have a piece of hair in your hand and she'd be swimming away from you (Ha, ha)
This one woman just lay there, wet and frightened.
He said: "Move... Move".
She got up, she was a big woman, big woman.
Her name was Bertha, Bertha Butt, she was one of the Butt sisters.
He didn't care. He looked up at her and said,
"Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me
Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me!".
She looked down on him.
She was ready to crush him, but she began to like him.
She said, "I'll sock it to ya, Daddy".
He said, "Wha?".
She said, "I'll sock it to ya, Daddy".
You know what he said? He started it way back then
I wouldn't lie to you
When she said, "I'll sock it to ya, Daddy"
He said "Right on! Right on! Hotpants! Hotpants! Ugh... Ugh... Ugh".
