Bc it’s awesome. Bring back any extinct animal possible!
I believe the problem with dinosaurs is their dna is too degraded.

I think a lot of people are missing what they are doing here. They are not creating a mammoth that’s just hyperbole. They are making a hairy Asian elephant

What could go wrong? Wonder how much competition they have in that space?

It would be cool if they allowed hunting of one or two individuals per year….maybe we could hunt them with spears!

It’s definitely an interesting development.
But not sure we are really that close to actually having Mammoths roaming around.

Why do they think this is a good idea?
Make outlandish claim/splashy headline
Vacuum up grants & investments
Work “diligently” on the problem set
Make no progress & shut down
Retain grants & investments
Profit

Humans should stop trying to play God. There is a reason they became extinct. Survival of the Fittest. What's next the saber toothed tiger? Dodo bird? Ivory-billed Woodpecker?

Me and my Mathews. What a way to go out.

They're not going to be roaming Central Park. The arctic is so sparsely populated there probably won't be many human interactions except for tourists.
Wait, they’re going to release these mutated elephants into the wild? Who’s going to teach the first ones how to survive in an environment they know nothing about?

We can bring back the Saber Toothed Tiger for starters.

The Ivory Bill is still with us.

Why are we doing this?
Are we just making animal toys?
They died because they could not adapt , right?
Why recreate a creature that couldn’t hang out here?

How does a brown headed cowbird know that it is a brown headed cowbird and that it is supposed to do brown headed cowbird things?
But, you bring up a good point. We'd be bringing the wooly mammoth into an ecosystem that has been altered to a degree that we really have no clue of. We think we know the environment they lived within, but we really don't.

Even it won't be the same species. Once a species goes extinct you cannot bring back the exact same. Sure it would look similar but won't be the previous species. They are also bringing back the Tasmanian Tiger as well. At least they plan too.

Why is "the science" trying to populate the arctic with resurrected species when they know all the icecaps are melting and we'll all be literally dead in 12 years or whatever it is now?

Extinction is necessary to weed out failures.
