****Official Chiefsplanet Woolly Mammoths Thread****

[Rain Man]

A database error occurred when I posted the thread, so I went back and reposted it and the database error was gone but it turned out that the thread had actually posted and now it was existing twice and since I thought it would distract from the thread content if people saw it twice and felt compelled to point out that it was a Q instead of reading it, I decided that it would be best to delete one of the thread, which is the thread you're seeing here that now contains some random pictures of woolly mammoths.

That's where wool sweaters come from

[Nickhead]

NO, so much potential :D

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Are those real wooly mammoths or just elephants dressed up like wooly mammoths ?

This happened to me as well, but I was only posting in threads.

What the hell is going on with this site anymore. Is this a result in the "minor change in policy"?

[GloryDayz]

Wooly Mammoth lives matter.






Wait....

Same has been happening to me. :(

[Dallas Chief]

Vailpass should be along shortly to tell us how he once made out with a 23 year old woolly mammoth with fake tusks in his hot tub. I heard he was alive back then.

CP is under attack from some Algerian hacker.

Scientists Say They Could Bring Back Woolly Mammoths Within Two Years (http://www.history.com/news/scientists-say-they-could-bring-back-woolly-mammoths-within-two-years)


"Ahead of the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Boston this week, Professor George Church of Harvard University spoke about the progress his team has made over two years of trying to recreate the genetic blueprint of the long-extinct woolly mammoth. According to Church, a world-renowned geneticist, his team believes it can create a mammoth-elephant hybrid, with many of the recognizable woolly mammoth features, in embryo form within two years.

Since 2015, Church and his fellow scientists have been working to isolate the mammoth genes and splice them into the DNA of an Asian elephant, the closest living relative to the woolly mammoth. To do this, they are using a gene-editing technique known as CRISPR/Cas9, which Church helped develop. Derived from a system bacteria uses to defend against viruses, the tool allows geneticists to “cut and paste” strands of DNA more precisely than ever before.

Up to now, Church and his team have stopped at the at cell stage, but they are moving on to creating embryos blending the mammoth traits with Asian elephant DNA. The resulting hybrid, sometimes referred to as a “mammophant,” would be part elephant, but with distinctive mammoth traits, including small ears, subcutaneous fat, shaggy hair and blood that enables the animal to survive in freezing temperatures.

Despite their progress, the team said it would be many years before they make a serious attempt to produce a living creature. They are planning to grow the embryo within an artificial womb in the laboratory, rather than find a female elephant as a surrogate mother, an ambitious plan that may take more than a decade."


i want a mammophant.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Huhuhuhuhuhhuh he said wooly mammoth huhuhuhuhhuhhuh

[Easy 6]

Mammoths? meh... I want to see a raptor recreated by implanting an emu egg with raptor dna

1. Why am I not surprised that CP has a thread about Wooly Mammoths? Started to post about some things and figured I should search first.

2. What I wanted to initially post is that about a week ago, construction workers found the petrified remains of a baby wooly mammoth. The best preserved example that they have found:

https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/gold-miners-in-the-yukon-find-mummified-baby-woolly-mammoth

3. There was a post above about attempts to re-introduce the woolly mammoth. I wonder if the newly-found, preserved baby woolly mammoth find will help in any way, perhaps by providing additional sources of DNA.

The website for the project is here:

https://reviverestore.org/projects/woolly-mammoth/

UPDATE: the project has been moved from reviverestore to Colossal. This occurred a couple of months ago. Updated website is here:

https://colossal.com/mammoth/

4. I love the state where I live. I would have a hard time living elsewhere. I think that my state's 'it' factor would go way, way up if we also had woolly mammoths roaming around again. Maybe we can get sabre tooth tigers or woolly rhinos, too.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

I'm all for reviving dinosaurs. I think it would be cool. Would like to hang a TREX head on my wall.

[Rain Man]

I think all of the Jurassic Park warnings are bogus. If we brought back mammoths and dinosaurs the world would be much more interesting. Let's do it.

[Bump]

fuck ya finally a thread about Mammoths!

I read a while ago that they found one that was instantly frozen many many many years ago that the plant matter it had consumed was still fresh when they found it today in this era, fascinating.

There’s ivory in them there hills.

Saw a cast replica in Galveston this week.

Only costs 15k iirc.

The phrase "Lipstick on a Woolly Mammoth"
came out way before the phrase
"Lipstick on a Pig"

I wish there was a giant sloth hunting season.

[bevischief]

I thought this was about fat hairy people at Walmart...

[Stewie]

I think it would have been cool, as a modern human, to encounter Cro-magnon, Neanderthal, Denisovans and other human-like animals on an adventure. 50,000 years ago we all existed together.

Modern human: Hey? What's up?
Primative human-type: Uggg.
Modern human: Cool.

Modern human to his friend: Do you see a problem there?

[Brody Wa]

I’ll put my money on the dog-mammoth thank you very much.

While it would be cool to reanimate a dinosaur from millions of years ago, it wouldn't work.

The incredible difference in atmospheric O2, CO2, and plant life that lead to gargantuan dinosaurs cannot be supported today.

Can you maybe put them on one of those portable oxygen tanks like the seniors in casinos?

The University of Nebraska has the most complete mammoth collection in the country.

Did you know Colorado has a professional lacrosse team named the Mammoth?
