The April issue of National
Geographic has a feature article about reviving extinct species.
It appears that some scientists
in Russia and South Korea have embarked on an ambitious project…
To create a living woolly mammoth
by using the DNA-storing nucleus of a preserved cell and an Asian elephant egg.
Hmmm…
Apparently SOMEbody has
never read (or watched) Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park.
PROMPT: The
world is depending on YOU to create a new cautionary tale of mammoth
proportions. On the other hand, we could
just embrace the entire situation with a new line of picture books à la If You Give a Mammoth a Cookie, Don’t Let
the Mammoth Drive the Bus, or Cloudy
with a Chance of Mammoths.
Thanks, Russia and South
Korea – Now we KNOW Where the Wild
Things Are!
