Cool! I wish we still had mammoths in North America; here's hoping efforts to clone them are a success in the near future!

The area from Pt Townsend to Sequim has always been a hotbed of Mammoth finds this one is where they found a spear point in the rib https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manis_Mastodon_Site

I think they might be a bit overdressed for a global warming summer.

Dressed to warm? Didn't they survive several interglacials?

Keep Calm and Carry On? Heck No. Stay Excited and Get Outside!

From what I've read the Colombian Mammoth was not as hairy as other mammoths.

So natural selection isn't good enough for you either.

Good. We'll put them in with your goats and you can take care of them.

What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

The Mastodon preferred forested areas such as Sequim, I believe.

We have one in our living room. We don't talk about it. There was a pinkish one I'd encounter in the neighborhood while walking the corgi. Haven't seen it often since I stopped drinking. I heard that certain trees bearing fruit we might not consider edible (Osage orange, some locust thing, others?) are vastly reduced in range and possibly extinctifying because their primary seed dispersers were mammoths. Sh!t is an underappreciated resource. Lucky me, I get all I want at work.

Some people have better things to do with their lives than walking the dog. Some don't.

People can't agree on where non-extinct, but endangered, species should exist. How on earth would WDFW (or any agency for that matter) manage that species if scientists were able to breed them and raise a viable population???

Nature exists with a stark indifference to humans' situation.

Sounds great to me! up.gif Goats get along very well with larger animals.

Pleistocene Park is a research area in the Russian arctic tundra the goal of which is to restore the subarctic steppe ecosystem that existed before the end of the Pleistocene epoch. Among the animals they eventually plan to reintroduce are Woolly Mammoths should they one day be resurrected.

We still have some lowland wilderness where the Mastodon could survive in small numbers, if you are talking about Western Washington. The problem is the ivory poachers.

An Island in the San Juan's could provide security. A couple of researchers in Japan are supposedly trying to clone a Mastodon. They have remote Islands there. It may not be called cloning as I understand it. They would first impregnate an elephant and then slowly breed in the Mastodon through generations until there is a 99% Mastodon.
