13,500 year old bead found in Wyoming

Guarantee that someone is attempting to clone mammoth and or mastadon.

I remember when I was a kid I think that somewhere in the Soviet Union a mastadon/mammoth was uncovered and it was prepared for some of the nobility.  I suspect that Vodka would be very important to how palatable it was.

  The bead find is cool though.

I really hope they are not successful in recreating any species that have become extinct.   There are many more problems they will bring, vs solutions.

Why do you hate Jurassic World?  You afraid of a velociraptor or something?

I worry more about the Teradactyls, herons on steriods.  Think about how many fish one of those suckers could stab in a lifetime.

Yeah, but think about the size of those prehistoric bluegills.

         This I really like. Hope they are a native species and not a foreign introduction.

I've actually only seen the first 2.  I like the idea of it, but on the other side of the token, how many things have we regretted altering?  Currently they are trying to introduce a new mosquito.   I believe they are close to releasing it in Florida.   It will compete with the native mosquito and eventually wipe them out.  Then supposedly,  the lab version is to die out.   All well and good, until you take away food sources (mosquitoes) for some other animals (bats, birds, fish, etc), and they become endangered.  ....and so on up the chain.  Bats are already having problems locally.

I believe your statement was in comedy, and my reply is definitely light hearted.   

 

And, quite honestly,  a group of mammoths or mastodon would be pretty destructive.   We have Mastadon State park near me, and there is a replica skeleton of a mastodon in the visitor center.  Pretty impressive.   Makes the elk look like large dogs.

I joke in parody of the MDC release of Otters and elk. And the money spent doing so.

You say that, but the never seem to mention anything about fossil descendants of freshwater fish like the basses and sunfish.  Wonder what they were, back in the cave man days of mastondon.

            I would venture to guess with the cooler climate and glacial expansion it would be a char like species with fangs 😁. @Daryk Campbell Sr better get a much longer fly rod so he can keep his distance. A beast of a fly rod that can chuck and duck a fly the size of a baby giant beaver that grew to a whopping 125 pounds.
