Woolly Mammoth De-Extinction | Restoring The Past for A Better Future | Colossal Biosciences

Huh?

Why I found this too

@@trendydwarf3747He has a clip about this company

Agree ❤

Colossal Biosciences is also working on helping bring back critically endangered (not extinct) North African 🌍 White 🦏 Rhinos and Barbary Lions 🦁... That will be a little easier than bringing back fully extinct species... And a lot of the science 🧪 🧬 there will be used for bringing back the Mammoth 🦣 Tasmanian Tiger 🐅 and the Dodo 🦤...

polar bears and mammoths would be somewhat far removed from one another, but if the two were to collide, a polar bear would likely just stay out of the way. i doubt they would want to be squewered by a 7ft tusk lol

They are not gonna put them in Antarctica or artic they are going to put them in Serbian grass lands where trees are taking over , so there's no polar bears

@@aqua_foxfx4563 they said North Slope, Alaska. Which is where Polar bears live. I've also seen they've said Siberia once. Which is also a place where Polar bears live.

@@TouchthisiProduction they are not releasing then randomly . They will first keep them in captivity until they are good enough to be in the wild . So basically they are released into a separate area and monitor the effects of them in the environment before a official success announcement.

Siberia .. so under Russian controlled land? Curious how the politics of something like this ends up working out. Would love to have the opportunity to go tour the park and see one if they let us ..

Oh yeah, the velociraptor the nabbed jimmy on his way to school will be humanely relocated. It’s not the raptors fault, jimmy was on a bike we have strict rules about rapid movement 😂 forget jimmy we need raptors. Up next, T. rex, care for a swim? Megaladon!

Extinction is a mechanism of evolution. We're just an extinction event, a comparatively small one. It's going to hella funny in 2billion years when we've been wiped out by anti-biotic resistant microbes and the sentient cockroaches use us as an example of what happens when a species gets caught up in its own hubris.

prehistoric animals and dinosaurs

The Mammoth 🦣 used to roam around the Baltic Sea, Northern Russia, Alaska and Canada... The Tasmanian Tiger 🐅 used to live in Australia 🌏, Indonesia and Papau New Guinea... Etc... Many of these nations have protected park lands for these species to roam...

They are doing the dodo. And there are plenty of dangerous animals out in the wild anyway. What difference does one more make

Pairing de-extinction of creatures like Mammoth 🦣, Tasmanian Tiger 🐅 (more like coyote) and Barbary Lion 🦁... With brain 🧠 computer 💻 interface like Neuralink would make sense... Know the animal's location, mood, pain level 🎚️... Maybe have a behavior nudge (make it drowsy)... Bringing back various species will mean improvements in genetics 🧬 and cloning... That will improve life stock agriculture (making it easier to clone prized 🏆 cows 🐄, goats 🐐 and sheep 🐑)... Maybe it would accelerate Neuralink development of a Neura-linked canine (you know your dog 🐕 location, mood, pain level, etc on a phone app... And can tie that in to a security system)... Or Neura-link cattle (you can see thru the eyes of 10%, 5% of your cattle)... Know if they are getting too hot or cold...

I don't think a few mammoth in Siberia would be very dangerous, people are used to Elephantidae, everyone know what an elephant is, It's not a T-Rex.

The government will probably ban Mammoth poaching

@@ANT96-x8d people will try though

@@rexy-mc1oythey’ll get killed by governments by sending in some sort of protection via troops

u really think they aren’t thinking of this they have raised over 200million dollars in funding and if they can bring back a mammoth than they can obviously think of all of the things you mentioned.

@@deepcutzgaming6082 no. Problem of reintroducing the mammoth, is that it will collide with polar bears territory. This is risky.

@@TouchthisiProductiononce they’ve grown into adults, I doubt a Polar Bear would try an take on a mammoth

@@deepcutzgaming6082 If that is so, then where are the publications addressing all these things? Humans are deeply driven by prestige and doing the thing no one did before. We can't even protect the species we have today, so why add new 'engineered' ones into the environment? Nobody can predict what will happen. Except that these new and expensive pets are treated with priority (as compared to wild species) by humans that need to steer towards a human desired scenario. This is a project for dreamers who are bored with the real world we live in.

En el sur de Chile y Argentina igual

For the Mammoth specifically, it actually really is a good idea! Mammoths are essential in slowing down and maybe even stopping global warming as a whole, as the ancient mammoth Steppe trapped large amounts of carbon, stopping the globe from getting too warm!

@@imbored3416 There used to be 5 million of them roaming Russia. Compare that to: - 415,000 African elephant today - 52,000 Asian elephant today - 8,000,000,000 people and still increasing (there are more humans than rats and mice combined) More people, less animals, there's no getting around that. They went extinct for a reason. Bringing back a one, a dozen, a hundred, a thousand, will do NOTHING for the environment. This video is not about the science of ecology, it marketing to acquire additional corporate funding, and their profits are biochemical novel products with social potential uses. The few Mammoth hey create will be miserable. Mammoths are social animals, they need herd life. But the average human REFUSES to consider ANY problem with our numbers, arguing with strawman arguments from passé authors.

Mammoths became extinct because of us. Over hunting was the main reason they were wiped out. Nature may have provided other variables to decrease their population, but we were the key. And besides, if we can successfully bring back extinct species, this technology could eventually be applied in the de-extinction of species that could become extinct in decades to come, or species that are already in the brink, such as Blue Sphix Macaws, Lord Howe Island Stick Insects, even the Northern White Rhinos.

@@lochness5524 It was not. Again you spout nonsense that you did not learn in university. Woolly Mammoth extinction is multifactorial. During the Milankovitch Cycles where there are 110,000 years of cold glacial periods and 10-15,000 years of warm interglacial periods, Woolly Mammoths struggled to survive the warm periods. They did not evolve survive Holocene temperatures. But they are also migratory, they need large swaths of land to move to, far away because each woolly mammoth eats 18 trash bags a day of grass. During the beginning of this inter-glacial period, the woolly mammoths were already on the brink, now add the humans. It's not just the hunting with spear throwers (humans weren't really hunters before the invention of spear throwers 30,000 years ago) it's also the habitat use. As the habitat was being occupied by other species, like humans, there was less desirable habitat for the Woolly Mammoths, that was 10,000 years ago. If 10,000 years ago they couldn't, what on Earth makes you think they could survive now?! Extinctions have reasons. Unless you remove the reasons of the reasons of the extinctions, those animals can not live.

@@tallard666 “nature may have provided other variables to decrease their Population”. That’s what I said. I’m still acknowledging that there were still other contributing factors to their extinction. Plus, they already existed for Millenia in Holocene conditions in Wrangel Island, surviving until they became extinct at the same time as Stone Henge and the pyramids were under construction. However, I also have to acknowledge that this was a very small Population so inbreeding did occur sadly. But this is proof that mammoths are capable of surviving in the Holocene, and if through active conservation efforts Collosal plans on doing as well halting climate change as best as we can, hopefully they can survive in this time too

It really does sound like some sort of big elaborate hoax.

maybe they’d be put in a biosphere

@@irvintello328 U cut that out now!!!

And next up the wholly Rhino

more like 2060, but yeah.

It was said that in 2005 in 1992

2027

​@@SumriseHDno they said 2027 😊

Lmaoo, this video looks like it came from the movie.

Modern day elephants are generally grazers, consuming grasses (but they can eat a wide variety of plants). Mammoths already existed in dry grassland habitats (a little colder then Africa of course), so it shouldn’t be too different for them to be able to consume these plants. I don’t know a lot about botany though or wether there is a major difference between steppe grass and savannah grass I don’t take my word for it

Lmao

Any actual palaeontology is very much against this line of research.

Considering only functional DNA versus nothing codons, we basically have the entire functional DNA map, as far as we can tell.

Stay tuned ;)

@@itiscolossalI hope you get web cams on the babies as you make them.. any future plans for the normal public to be able to see them in person?

They went extinct for a reason. Like nearly all extinctions in the past 2 million years, too many humans. TOO MANY HUMANS = not enough habitat. People gotta choose.

@@tallard666too late, already a US based company is bringing it back😉

@@Anomize23 There's no such thing as "bringing it back" other than a animal abusive lab experiment. There can be no positive outcome for this. Various fringe scientists and adventurists have been promising this for nearly two decades. "One" may well be "brought back", but it won't be nice or ethical. It is animal cruelty.

There used to be 5 million mammoth roaming just Russia, more across the entire northern hemisphere. They are migrators, they are social animals. Bringing back a few would be pure animal cruelty.

@@tallard666But they said they are making 100 .. would elephants be able to also socialize with them since they are a hybrid of Indian elephants? Might be okay

@@karmasutra4774 They are not "hybrids" of "Indian" elephants (I think you meant Asian Elephants). Mammoths are a separate species. To have Asian Elephants gestate Mammoths would be like women gestating chimpanzees.

​@@karmasutra4774Colossal Biosciences will try to make the creatures as much like 🦣 mammoths as reasonably possible... They may not be very friendly... Which is why pairing them with a brain 🧠 computer 💻 interface (like Neuralink) would be helpful... To track their location, mood, pain level, etc)...

First off, what’s so fucking pathetic about being back a Mammoth. Bringing back any extinct species is a noble pursuit. Plus, Indricotheres can’t be brought back, because they became extinct too far into the past for any genetic samples to survive, let alone enough to bring back the animal itself. It be just as impossible to bring them back as it would be trying to clone Non-Avian Dinosaurs

It’s all hype. Sorry.

@@smallfry7743 How do you know?

The Woolly mammoths will be absolutely miserable. It is inhumane. There used to be 5 million of them just Russia, but they spanned the entirety of the Northern hemisphere. They were migratory and lived in big herds. Switzerland has a law that says social pets may not be kept as pets in solitude, they must have access to their own peers, for humane reasons. What we will do to Mammoths is 100% awful.

There natural habitats still exist in Siberia. It’s large enough it could support the first few mammoths they’d bring back.

@@tallard666 in the late 2000’s there was a show called Prehistoric Park where they brought back extinct animals through time travel shenanigans. When they brought back a Woolly Mammoth whom may have been one of the last, she too was miserable when she was brought back because she was alone. However, they had her be brought in to a healthy elephant herd, where she then was able to have a happier life. So I think what they should do is something similar. They should bring a whole herd of Asian Elephants to wherever they plan to release the Mammoths (wouldn’t be the first time Elephants have been kept in colder climates in captivity, like in European Zoo’s) not just to simply be used as surrogates, but also to provide the basic emotional needs these baby mammoths are gonna need when there brought back. They would instinctually recognised that it would be a member of their family, due to the fact that the Asian Elephants they’d use would potentially be the Mammoths legit biology child (seeing as there gonna need their DNA anyway to fill in the DNA gaps), so they’ll hopefully treat the baby Mammoth as they would any other member of their herd. If this plan works, it’ll mean that until we’ve brought back enough Mammoths to establish their own herds and then be released in their natural habitat, this method can ensure that they will live happy lives until there’s more of their kind to form their own herds and form more of these social bonds that are so vital to both Elephants and Mammoths.

@@lochness5524 You do realise Asian elephants are basically hairless and live in hot areas of Asia, whereas Woolly Mammoth fur was this and a meter long to deal with the frigid temperatures of the Mammoth Steppe habitat? This is just ludicrous.

@@lochness5524 If they COULD exist there they would! What is it you don't understand about extinctions. Oh wait, let me guess, everything.
