Only thing that we need back are dodos bc they look so goofy

"WHY IS IT SO DAMN HOT HERE!!?"
Yeah... I dont think they would be happy to come back

The first successfully created mammoth should be named Manny.

Decades ago, some kid was like “I wanna bring back dinosaurs” and then saw Jurassic Park and went “maybe Wooly Mammoths instead…”

[lexdemonica]

Terminator and Jurassic Park were warnings not suggestions

[russelhundchen]

rather than bringing back extinct animals we should prevent exitinction from animals that live today

[ralynedin]

I feel that quote from Jurassic Park should be listened to.

[EWPBPSstealth]

Wish we could leave elephants alone. Poor beautiful animals are already going through enough

[parkersemenza]

i feel like this can't be completely ethical

I like this is the start of events like a certain movie i cant remember, something park related

[jgcoverkknot]

It's not cold enough for them because we're melting all the ice! Maybe let's focus on protecting our planet's future.

Elephants with a few select mammoth genes are elephants

[thaminduliyanage]

Apparently they learnt nothing from Jurassic Park films ? Those films shows how small mistakes are lead to catastrophic consequences

[YoJesusMorales]

This reminded me of the scientist that wanted to give teeth to chicken just to see how they would look.

Let Wooly, be our PAST! Just SAVE the elephants!

[jeremydasneves]

Mammoths had their shot and they did not last.

[Squarepeg]

I wish scientists would work on trying to ways save the species that are at risk from extinction right now.

I love your X-Men jacket with the Jim Lee artwork! Also your videos are very well produced. The Huge If True team had been killing it!
