you don't have to imagine. there are preserved ones, and they aren't cute.

>>5103885
living ones would look like fluffy elephants and baby elephants are cute

>>5103885
I don't think it's fair to judge their cuteness based on a mummified corpse

they need to be brought back

if they made woolly mice can't they make woolly elephants?

>>5103885
Nobody would be cute after 10,000 years locked in permafrost

>>5104160
I would

Ancient humans were evil
Why would they extinct this

>Why would they extinct this
"Nature sure is abundant, there's life everywhere, how could an animal completely die off when there's seemingly an infinite amount of them and the world is infinitely vast?"
People in nearly all cultures had this sort of logic prior to the late 19th Century, relatively pristine nature was so ubiquitous and abundant that they were apathetic to it.

>>5104187
Didn't the extinction of the mammoth have a lot to do with the changing environment in addition to hunting

>>5104230
there's research papers for both cases and i have no idea which is more legit

>>5104187
ancient humans needed to eat, and it was made out of food; considering that they couldn't exactly just buy food from the grocery store like we can, I'd argue that it's no more evil than wolves predating upon deer
>>5104214
they also just wouldn't have had the technology to keep track of and raise awareness of any population decline in the same way that we can, nor the agricultural/economic surplus to support people dedicating their working lives to it

>>5104187
Would a domesticated version of this mini elephant be a good pet?

why don't they do the same thing they did to make mice woolly, but with elephants instead

>>5104456
I want 10. No, 20.

>>5104456
I love these so much I wish there were more videos. I think I've seen everything.

>>5104234
Maybe we should bring mammoths back so we can ask them.

>>5104456
modern elephants already have to cool themselves by pumping blood through their huge ears, putting a thick coat of fur would make overheating a whole lot worse. You could put them in siberia or something but snow mongols would hunt them to death again.

>>5104645
you could put them in canada, maybe they'd start squishing indians

consider the following:

>>5104456
they are working on it.
you can look forward to thousands of posts going
>nooo, thats not a real wooly mammoth, they just inserted some wooly genes into an indian elephant

>>5105046
looks like it should hurt but baby elephants do that a lot so probably not too bad

So how did mammoths and elephants evolve basically the exact same body plan? One is a mammal (fur) while the other is a dinosaur (big, hairless, scaly). They also live in completely different environments yet despite all that, they not only evolved the exact same skeletal structure, but both have trunks too which no other animal has. Yeah, I call bullshit.

>>5105225
lol
they're very closely related and could probably interbreed

>>5105048
I hate those faggots. They plague the ecology field and academia as a whole. All they do is just get in the way of progress with their retarded rules and bureaucracy.
>nooooo we cant reintroduce this species and help the population we need to do a study on their local genetics first (ends up wasting all their funding)
>nooooo we cant do a prescribed burn on this parkland first we have to do a giant inventory to see what plants and animals would be affected (never actually does it)
>noooooo we cant plant that tree species because its not hecking native to our state (but it is native to the state 50 miles away)

that's good eatin'
