    One day they'll clone dinosaurs...

    The female woolly mammoth unearthed in the Lyakhovsky Islands in May 2013 could one day become the “mother” of the first woolly mammoth to walk the earth in millennia.

    The discovery of the beast caused excitement when the scientists who unearthed her found that she was very well preserved — to the point that her blood was still liquid after all these years.

    Now, after a necropsy (an autopsy on an animal), the team has discovered that the mammoth’s soft tissues are in excellent condition, so much so that they may be able to extract enough high-quality DNA to perform an analysis — and maybe even a reconstruction.

    “We have dissected the soft tissues of the mammoth — and I must say that we didn’t expect such results. The carcass that is more than 43,000 years old has preserved better than a body of a human buried for six months,” Viktoria Egorova, chief of the Research and Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory of the Medical Clinic of North-Eastern Federal University, Siberia, told the Siberian Times. “The tissue cut clearly shows blood vessels with strong walls. Inside the vessels there is haemolysed blood, where for the first time we have found erythrocytes. Muscle and adipose tissues are well preserved.”

    If there are mammoths out there, there have to be other pre flood creatures preserved, just have to find them.

    I would love to see one alive. Wonder if they could be trained like an elephant?

    I wish they could clone a tyrannosaurus rex, put it on a deserted island, then drop libtards like the scum indoctrinating our youth(Kadmos comes to mind) daily to keep it well fed, though they might contaminate him too.

    You can't clone a dinosaur unless you have viable DNA. Odds are against ever obtaining any, in fact, its doubtful they succeed even with the mammoth, and it lived much, much more recently.

    Don't you, in some way shape or form?
    I do not have a dog in this fight, but most believe something. I think it is great to see Jesus ride a T Rex and laugh. Then be able to speak of it.
    Than to watch and read of Muslims hacking 100 people to death in N. Africa cause they can

    I have never met anyone who believed that Christ rode a dinosaur.

    I thought I remember watching some science show awhile back, that said even if we could get enough DNA to clone a dinosaur, it wouldn't work due to the oxygen level in our atmosphere being 10 times lower today.
    Here's to pussy and gunpowder. One to live for, the other to die by.....Goddamn though, I do love the smell of 'em both !!!

    Actually, I was referring more to the idea that humans and dinosaurs lived at the same time. IF one believes that, then it isn't a big step to believe that Christ might have ridden a dinosaur. There's a Christian cult, somewhere in the mid-West, I think, that actually has a museum trying to show that humans and dinosaurs lived together. Totally absurb, yet people buy into it. With that kind of mentality, it isn't hard to see why Obamanation was elected, then re-elected.

    I hope they breed them up and and the things populate to the point that we need hi-cap mags to protect ourselves from them. We can use this to our advantage.

    I'm torn between 'This is fucking epic" and... 'We're opening Pandora's box yet again'.

    The news would cover up all the dinosaur on white crime.

    Can you imagine any critter that takes a "Dump" that weighs over 1,000 Lbs? How would you like to clean those messes off your lawn?
