....LONG LIVE THE SABER TOOTHED TIGER!!!!!
Why?
Printcraft? Izat you?
We can still run them off of cliffs, right? I like my mammoth pre-tenderized.
The science behind this is amazing. The ethics, questionable.
Prof Church, a guest speaker at the meeting, said the mammoth project had two goals - securing an alternative future for the endangered Asian elephant and helping to combat global warming.
Woolly mammoths could help prevent tundra permafrost from melting and releasing huge amounts of greenhouse gas into the atmosphere.
“They keep the tundra from thawing by punching through snow and allowing cold air to come in,” said Prof Church. “In the summer they knock down trees and help the grass grow.”
I hope they do a T-Rex next.
Now, mini/teacup wooly mammoths that were trained to use a litter box. I could get on board with that.

I'm starting my counter petition to protect Inuit from the rampaging mammoths to be!
Hey, I got a great idea. Let's breed woolly mammoths, saber-tooth tigers, and other animals that would fit into the same eco-system on a lonely uninhabited island off Washington, and then make it into a theme park for rich folks. And then we could use selective DNA science to make super aggressive tigers so ultra rich hunters could come and high-fence hunt them. I really can't think of anything that could go wrong with this idea because I'm sure tidal waves or heavy storms will never cause the containment fences to fail while the theme park is at full capacity.
I don't know about the rest of the elephant, but I had an elephant ear at the last county fair that was delicious!Why do we need cold weather elephants?
Also what does elephant taste like? I imagine something like a bear/moose taste.
