Amazing. You’d think something as big as a mammoth would need more blood than that
Mammoth Park, let’s go, spare no expense
Apparently the best we can do is elephants that look like mammoths.
Gotta get more frog dna in there.
Frogs are turning the elephants gay. Or something.
Best I can do for your mammoth blood is five bucks.
I’ve got to get it into a decorative vial, then I’ve got to store it until I find a buyer, and the market is super niche. If you had come in fifteen years ago when True Blood was all the rage, and the vampires were still out in the open, it would be a different story.
Life, uh, uhh…
wow. so it’s 10,010 years old now?
Apparently they have DNA from a few different ones now. They have 70-80% of the genome from these guys. The problem is the DNA is kinda falling apart and is mixed up with a bunch of microbes and other organic fodder, they’re reconstructing the genome using elephant DNA structure as a guide.
Damn those things live long huh
Lick it
Crazy seeing that in a Vacutainer/Vacuette tube, the standard transportation medium you’d see in any clinic/hospital for routine intravenous blood draw.
Down the hatch! Down the hatch!
