Mammoth is literally the hardest animal to do this for. Why not the dodo? Or anything smaller/with a faster generation time. I guess that wouldn't bring in investors and reporters...
- peteradio 5y agowho wants to eat a dodo? no thanks.
- xgulfie 5y agoapparently a lot of sailors because that's how they went extinct
- JoeAltmaier 5y agoThey're extinct precisely because they were very, very tasty.
- codr7 5y agoProbably more like edible and very easy to catch and kill.
- JoeAltmaier 5y agoA favorite spot of mariners for a century, because of the taste.
- quickthrower2 5y agoI’m up for bringing back the dodo: at least we reverse the damage we’ve done that way

- onychomys 5y agoIt has a super long generation time, but at least we have a very large number of carcasses to work from. There's nearly no dodo DNA laying around.
