The Jurassic Park movies.  Do they end with dinosaurs giving little kids horsey rides.  

No.  They do not.  Every one of those movies features, razor sharp claw marks etched in blood, giant jaws ripping apart human torsos, and airborne pterodactyl assaults.

And now a brand new genetics company - planning to use its test tubes to stir-up a massive prehistoric creature extinct for 800,000 years.

What could go wrong?

The company is Colossal and their goal is to reanimate the Woolly Mamouth.  A six ton elephant with a giant skull, massive tusks, and a shaggy dog haircut.  They plan to tinker with elephant DNA to add the hair.. the layers of fat… and other manmouth features.  They’ll implant the embryos in a fake elephant uterus that will hold the unborn baby for 2 years… til its 200 pounds… and then it’ll be born into a world where it has no mother.  Kinda cruel… because elephants are very tight with their moms as they grow-up.

So why is Colossal doing this?  Because they can.  And because they have 15-million dollars to burn.  They want to reintroduce the beasts to Siberia where they say .. it might help repair the climate-damaged tundra.  Theoretically these motherless behemths  would eat moss and create fertilizer. Thereby reducing carbon emissions.  But I once again ask…

What could go wrong?

Just one misplaced strand of DNA…   and we could have Jurassic Park Six:  furry mess in the frost.  But this one… will be a documentary.
