Texas Might Be Home To Woolly Mammoths Sooner Than You Think

Modern day Texas is home to deer, rattlesnakes, and bobcats, to name a few animals, and – according to news from a de-extinction company – soon, it might also have mammoths. The company behind the ambitious target is Colossal Biosciences, and it’s their goal to have living, breathing mammoths at their Texas-based facility by 2028.

I wouldn't be worried about mammoths. Make it dinosaurs and we have something to fear. Mammoths are like elephants in a fur coat. We already have elephants.

I'm not sure what harm will come from it, at least depending on what we're making. If we were making dinosaurs, I'd be concerned about us getting knocked down the food chain. Woolly mammoths don't worry me. We'll, another concern, I suppose, is if animals we resurrect get into the wild and destroy the balance of the ecosystem. We see animals invade and take over ecosystems wherein they naturally wouldn't be. An example, off the top of my head, is the Burmese python in Florida.

Great white sharks are hanging out in the twilight zone and scientists don't know why

Researchers recorded the movements of ocean predators and found many diving to depths of over 3,200 feet for reasons that are currently unclear.

In a new study, data from 12 species of large predatory fish, including sharks, billfish and tunas showed they regularly spent time in the mesopelagic zone — also known as the twilight zone —. which stretches between the depths of 656 and 3,280 feet (200 to 1,000 meters). They were also seen in the midnight zone, 3,280 to 9,800 feet (1,000 to 3,000 m) beneath the ocean surface.

The 'longevity bottleneck' hypothesis: Research suggests that dinosaurs may have influenced how human beings age

Human aging may have been influenced by millions of years of dinosaur domination according to a new theory from a leading aging expert. The 'longevity bottleneck' hypothesis has been proposed by Professor Joao Pedro de Magalhaes from the University of Birmingham in a new study published in BioEssays. The hypothesis connects the role that dinosaurs played over 100 million years with the aging process in mammals.

While some reptiles and amphibians show no significant signs of aging, all mammals—including humans—show a marked aging process.

Professor de Magalhaes' hypothesis suggests that during the Mesozoic Era, mammals faced persistent pressure for rapid reproduction during the reign of dinosaurs, which over 100 million years led to the loss or inactivation of genes associated with long life, such as processes associated with tissue regeneration and DNA repair.

There's several more paragraphs in there.

This thread is getting long.

That's not true. That's just what the Bible says.
