Scientists are trying to bring back woolly mammonths

And that doesn't mean mammoths were harmful....... it means our ancestors brutally murdered them for their fur and ivory.

​No, "use", not "used", and it means the mammoths died of natural causes 10,000 years ago and people dig up the tusks because since 1989 they're no longer allowed to use elephant ivory.

I'm conflicted about it. Let's see how this will turn out. I just hope that it will harm no one. :party:

I wonder if it happens if we will be able to see it. I think it will take years to do that

Even if in the future they are able to re-create a woolly mammoth, where will it go? Will it just be kept in a lab for scientific experiments, or will they attempt to introduce it into the wild? I don't think the latter would be a wise idea because it'd heavily mess with the ecosystem :omg:

This, and it was not just humans but also climate change that drove them extinct (their grasslands turned into forests with the rising temperatures). Best case scenario might be a zoo of some sort? :shrug:

Do you feel him sir?

​Yeah I guess :noparty: I mean it's great to make this progress with science and all, but I'd hope more for the prevention from extinction for current species than bringing back extinct species from thousands of years ago :sweat:

Mammoths are extremely well preserved so I guess that's why they're attempting it. But I definitely agree there's too many animals becoming endangered and going extinct :(​ But if they were to bring back any extinct animal I'd rather a recent one like a tasmanian tiger or something that still has its ecosystem there. (they've actually tried).

​Oh I didn't know that, I'll have to look that up because it sounds really intriguing for people to have found preserved extinct animals :excited2: Yup I'm totally on the same page as you there! Recent extinct species that are still adapted to the current environment and still have a chance to carve out a niche again seem like much better candidates :omg:

​Yep, they've found frozen mammoths with their fur, tissues and blood still in tact. :yes: I'm amazed that even mummified dinosaur skin has been found.
