"LIVE" Wooly Mammoth Recorded In Siberia

Yes, they should clone mammoths! Screw the environmental repercussions. Mammoths should exist just based on the fact that they are AWESOME!

Using bull frog DNA as stop gaps in the sequences, and the rest as captured in mosquitos trapped in amber.

Oh wait, that was Jurassic Park.

They'd go very good with steak sauce!

It's a bear with a fish. Once again Black Dove shows himself to be a gullible retard.

Elephants do use their nose to suck up water and then spray that water into their mouths. It's how they drink. They also use it to spray water on themselves for cleaning.

"If surviving woolly mammoths were found in Siberia, it could run against Russia's plans to further develop and exploit the area's considerable resources. "

As if that would stop Russia....

Where are they going to release these cloned mammoths? And when are they going to use a tiger to clone a Saber Toothed Tiger?

*snicker* *giggle*

Okay, you can continue now.

Da.

We found mammoth. 20 of them.

They pissed us off and we killed them all, 30 years ago.

Woolly Mammoths are there, but grown ups cannot see them.

The Russians have been talking about cloning mammoths since Dolly the sheep became a media hit in Scotland a decade ago. Some how they've never gotten the expertise or money to do it though.

It's a little known fact there that wooley mammoth farts will destroy the ozone layer and cause global warming.

So a mammoth family reunion could have been the CAUSE of the Tunguska Incident? A small flame somewhere in the forest, a massive collection of mammoth methane gas hits it, and-

DAMN! Here's another version of the picture. Apparently there's a lot of weird shit going on in Siberia!

Here's where I'm having trouble with this; You're filming a wooly mammoth over open ground, how do you NOT run towards it to get as much good footage as you can? Its not exactly going to dart away.

If you get too close with a modern video camera you'd be able to see its wrist watch.

For the record, I will be there in whatever park they put the cloned mammoths in the first day its open to the public. I don't care what it costs, I'm going to be there, and I'm going to ride one.

Just remember to ride single file, to hide your strength from distant observers.

The park of the future where absolutely nothing can go wrong!

What environmental repercussions? Clone it in a lab; Then all you do is raise it off the ground and force feed it until it's the perfect size for killin. Next you do some killin and enjoy some of the sweet sweet reward: Kobe Mammoth Steaks.

Actually, there could be a tremendous environmental benefit to cloning mammoths. Most of the plants in North American forests evolved with mammoths, and there hasn't been enough time since mammoths went extinct for the plants to adapt to a mammothless world. It has been suggested as a way to reduce things like forest fires that elephants be released in places like the Pacific Northwest. Cloning mammoths and sticking them in the PNW would simply restore balance to the forest.

National Geographic had a show about how mammoths helped to prolong the ice age. Apparently one of the big problems right now is perma frost is melting which means the organic matter in the perma frost can start decomposing releasing green house gases but some crusty old Russian guy living in Siberia has been doing research and found that large animals compact the soil which helps it stay frozen and thus prevents thawing. His theory is that if large herbivores like mammoths were brought back the weight of them walking around could help slow climate change as they compact the soil and prevent the perma frost from melting.

So our prehistoric ancestors fucked us over by hunting mammoths into extinction? Is that what I'm hearing?

This is what the Russians want to build. Basically it takes a lot of empty land in Siberia and turns it into a tourist attraction.

Yeah, that whole living in harmony with nature stuff is hippy bullshit.

The ice age had a lot of kick-ass animals!

And then people ate them.

The ice age is the time I most want to visit when I make my time machine.

Australia's Pleistocene mega-fauna are the most interesting to me. Climate change at the end of the last ice age meant that grassland turned to desert (it's the flattest and driest continent by far) and humans showed up in Australia right at that time where they found semi tame animals with no fear of humans. The humans slaughtered most of the survivors and some really interesting large mammals went extinct in a very short period of time. I wonder how many of them might have made decent domestic farm animals had stone age people not killed them all.

Australian mega-fauna was awesome, wish some of it was still around
