Description
Woolly mammoths went extinct several thousand years ago. But if a new company gets its way, something like the woolly mammoth could walk the earth again within the decade. Colossal, a new bioscience company, announced in September that they had raised $15 million to genetically modify an Asian elephant so that it has the cold-tolerant traits of a woolly mammoth. Their plan has been received with a mix of skepticism, excitement, and controversy.
