We are struggling to protect elephants. They are trying to bring back mammoths. Crazy.

[greg]

Did no one learn anything from watching Jurassic Park????

[ashishBMNE]

Dumb thing is, they are trying it on a 'wooly' one when there wil be no ice surface left.

[shetra]

जो अभी विलुप्त हो रहे है या होने वाले है उन्हें तो हम बचाने में असमर्थ है, और विशाल पशुओं का क्या करेंगे? क्या मांस के लिए?

[YoFreshWiggy]

Imagine going to the zoo and seeing woolly mammoth and sabre tooth cats while snacking on Kentucky fried velociraptor

[s.r]

It will be interesting to see how some prehistoric animals and plants would survive in the modern world.

[gojjamlimeneh]

I love this woman and her bold questions and reporting!! I can listen her all day !!!

[jeetusingh]

Yes, they should revive the mammoth. It takes us 1 step closer to leaving this solar system.. it will take years but we will make it.

[hit]

Her logic: extinct "dodo" will eat humans and wipe them out

[yassma]

What about the Tyrannosaurus? Any plan yet ?

[lokeshk]

These species are extinct for a reason. Why mess with a natural phenomenon?

[Qwerty-jcso]

We will decide to bring back "keystone species", which are the most important type of animals for the preservation of their habitat.

[davidjaap]

There was talk of this a while back, mostly to aleviate the worlds hunger problem. 🙏❤😵

[rayseaman]

Where would we keep them ? We have enough trouble housing Buffaloes !

[Samsung-zgql]

Those are claims..
They cloned a sheep and it died soon.
Woolly mammoth is a long shot😅😅

[InewCenter-tt]

Maybe they found frozen bull mammoth..

[garypruett]

Yes how many deformations and mistakes are still out there🤔

[ulusalani]

I'd love a pet T Rex, That would be so bad.

[arnabbanerjee]

Btw at cern we have created matter from nothing …… so ….its not about if we should be playing god, the question is how fare would the human race be as a god

[HeyHEY-fgrp]

Everything has to be done because someone is going to do it.
