US scientists take an ambitious shot to 'de-extinct' woolly mammoth
The New Indian Express Thiruvananthapuram
|March 05, 2025
EXTINCTION is still forever, but scientists at the biotech company Colossal Biosciences are trying what they say is the next best thing to restoring ancient beasts—genetically engineering living animals with qualities to resemble extinct species like the woolly mammoth.
-
Woolly mammoths roamed the frozen tundras of Europe, Asia and North America until they went extinct around 4,000 years ago.
Colossal made a splash in 2021 when it unveiled an ambitious plan to revive the woolly mammoth and later the dodo bird. Since then, the company has focused on identifying key traits of extinct animals by studying ancient DNA, with a goal to genetically "engineer them into living animals," said CEO Ben Lamm.
