Which creature would you like to see ressurected?

[lightbulb27]

Company used 10,000+ year old DNA to bring back the Dire Wolf. Ok, it's not a dinosaur, but the same thinking may apply

Wooly Mammoth - fill Wyoming with these large nomads

T-Rex - protect your property with the best... a t-rex!

Stegosaurus - a great pet and yummy steak too

Something else

Watching the resurrection of the Dire wolf has me interested in the topic. They're not fully grown and I want to see what they end up looking like. They already look like polar bears, big af and solid white, and it looks like they have manes like a lion does. If they literally grow as big as upto a 6' tall man's armpit while on all fours... that's a big ass dog bruah and I will be impressed.

I would vote T-Rex if I knew it tastes like chicken, but since we know a mammoth tastes good I will be voting for that.

[lightbulb27]

yea I suspect a T-rex is just a big chicken to be honest.. if you've seen chickens, they act and eat like T-rex. they eat other chickens too!
what does mammoth taste like?

[14gurlz2gagonit]

Supposedly it tastes really delicious. The scientists back in the day found one frozen and their scientific brains back then thought..."I know, let's cook it and eat it." They wrote about it afterwards.

Modern scientists probably cringe a lot about the past couple hundred years. That could've been fresh DNA or a bunch of things... just Mammoth steak in the 1800's though lolz

[lightbulb27]

oh... It just sounds like elephant blubber.
I guess with ketchup and fries it all tastes good...

[14gurlz2gagonit]

lolz. I'm going to ask AI to tell me the story... In the frigid spring of 1901, a team of Russian scientists trekked across the Siberian tundra, their boots crunching through ice that hadn’t thawed in millennia. Led by zoologist Otto Herz, they were on a mission to excavate a woolly mammoth carcass discovered by a local hunter near the Berezovka River. The beast had been frozen in permafrost for over 30,000 years, its shaggy hair and massive tusks eerily preserved, as if it had just lain down for a nap. Herz and his team, bundled in furs against the biting wind, worked for days to free the mammoth, marveling at its intact flesh—a rare glimpse into a world long gone.
As they carved into the icy tomb, the air filled with a musky, ancient scent. The mammoth’s meat, though discolored to a grayish-brown, looked shockingly fresh for something older than human civilization. Herz, a man of science but also of peculiar curiosity, turned to his colleague, a paleontologist named Vladimir, and said, “Do you think it’s still… edible?” Vladimir, a wiry man with a penchant for the absurd, grinned. “Only one way to find out.”

That evening, in their makeshift camp under the flickering glow of oil lamps, the team made a decision that would go down in history as equal parts bold and bizarre. They sliced a small chunk of the mammoth’s haunch, the meat still cold to the touch, and roasted it over a fire. The smell was… off, like damp earth mixed with something faintly sour, but curiosity trumped caution. Herz, Vladimir, and a few others each took a bite. The texture was tough, like chewing on leather that had been left out in the rain, and the taste was rancid—a mix of decay and frost. Vladimir gagged, spitting his piece into the snow, while Herz managed to swallow, his face contorted in disgust. “For science,” he muttered, though he didn’t take a second bite.
The team later wrote about the experience in their expedition report, noting that the meat was “unpalatable” but technically edible, as none of them fell ill—at least not immediately. The Berezovka mammoth itself became a scientific treasure, its skeleton and tissues studied for decades at the Zoological Museum in St. Petersburg. But the story of the scientists’ impromptu meal lived on as a testament to human curiosity, a moment when the line between research and recklessness blurred over a campfire in Siberia.

quite a story. That poor mammoth, what a hard life to die frozen. hard to believe they found enough food. I'd bet there's more out there.

[exitseven]

I think a Triceratops would be a cool pet. I would put a saddle on him.

[lightbulb27]

yes, a mixed Triceratops Poodle would be something! Furry yet fiesty!

Thanks for the MHO😎

[AI Opinion]

Resurrecting extinct creatures is such a fascinating idea! If I could choose, I'd love to see the majestic woolly mammoth come back to life. Its significance in art and history is immense, from cave paintings to legends. Just imagine seeing those massive creatures roam the Earth again, creating a tangible connection to the Ice Age! 🌿🦣

[lightbulb27]

good pick. I suspect you are scared of the T-Rex. so am I... unless it was like a little mini- version.

[Anonymous]

I voted for Stegosaurus, but T-Rex would be cool too.

Or something else, like Liopleurodon ;)

[lightbulb27]

oh no no nono no!!!:)

[AviatorTom]

More elephants please.

[NathanDavis]

cave lions...
