ADVENTURER FORREST GALANTE: GENE-EDITED MAMMOTH EMBRYOS WILL BE REBIRTHED BY INDIAN ELEPHANTS...TO FIGHT CARBON EMISSIONS
“They're ( Colossal startup) planning on starting with 100 mammoths and putting them in this park in Siberia.
They've been doing this experiment as to what happens when you add megafauna back into the Arctic tundra to offset carbon emissions.
They're taking Indian elephants and they're using CRISPR technology and they're using existing mammoth DNA and they're making an embryo and then they're implanting it into the Indian elephant and 22 months later, she will give birth to a real mammoth.
So you end up with an animal that is physically and morphologically identical to a mammoth, but has used all of the DNA from the closest living relatives in order to get there. Real life Jurassic Park with purpose.”
