Yeah, yeah, exactly. That's exactly how it works. The mice are great little critters for doing these kinds of experiments, seeing the effects of genetic changes, because they reproduce so fast and scientists, you know, they just know how to work with them.

Yeah. One change gave the mice hair three times longer than usual. Wow. Another made their coats wavy. Another turned their coats this kind of golden blonde, you know, color like mammoths, et cetera, et cetera.

And that will enable them to create mammoth-like Asian elephants by genetically engineering Asian elephant embryos with the traits that made the mammoths mammoths. implanting those edited embryos into female Asian elephants, you know, surrogates, to hopefully breed these mammoth-like creatures with the ultimate goal of releasing herds of these creatures back into the Arctic someday.
