It did make me think that elephants are very social matriarchal animals - the elephant that gives birth to the mammoth is going to want to keep it around, and the mammoth can’t really be separated and kept in some kind of isolation. But then they need to birth more mammoths, and even breed the mammoths (could be quicker) so I wonder how they’re going to manage a combined elephant-mammoth herd. Doesn’t make much sense to have a solitary mammoth wandering around on its own in Siberia, it’ll take a bunch of them. And then to convince them they’re not elephants.
