Woolly mice are a 1st step to resurrecting mammoths

Woolly mice: Are woolly mammoths next?
Scientists have created a genetically modified mouse that's woolly. The researchers plan to use their woolly mouse to test out other genetic changes before they try to create genetically-altered, mammoth-like elephants in the future. The company, Colossal Biosciences, hope to use the new mammoths in the fight against global warming.
