In 2021, Colossal had aroused a great impact when he announced his plan to bring back woolen mammoths and Dodo birds. Ben Lamm, CEO of the company, states that his team focuses on determining the basic features of endangered animals by working on the ancient DNA and aims to genetically integrate these features into today&#8217;s animals. However, independent scientists have different views on the ecological benefits of this strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Christopher Preston, a Wildlife and Environmental Specialist from the University of Montana, says that this method does not really resurrect a extinct creature, but only forms a new species with similar features.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16324\" style=\"width:820px;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/kasifiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Bilim-Insanlari-Mamutlari-Geri-Getirme-Yolunda-Yunlu-Fareler-Uretti1.jpg\" data-lazy- title=\"\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/kasifiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Bilim-Insanlari-Mamutlari-Geri-Getirme-Yolunda-Yunlu-Fareler-Uretti1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16324\" style=\"width:820px;height:auto\" title=\"\"><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&#8216;Woolen mice&#8217; created by genetic engineering<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Colossal said on Tuesday that he had developed mice with long, dense and wool -like feathers as a result of the arrangement of seven genes at the same time in mouse embryos.

However, thanks to modern technologies such as CRISPR, this process has become much more efficient and faster.<\/p>\n<p>The Colossal team analyzed DNA databases in detail to determine the genes of mice related to hair texture and fat metabolism. Colossal&#8217;s chief scientist Beth Shapiro explained that these genetic variations are already present in some mice, but all were united in a single individual.<\/p>\n<p>The reason why these features are especially preferred is that they are associated with cold resistance. Like the woolen mammoths survived in the prehistoric Arctic steppes, these new mice are thought to have the potential to adapt to harsh climatic conditions.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16325\" style=\"width:820px;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/kasifiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Bilim-Insanlari-Mamutlari-Geri-Getirme-Yolunda-Yunlu-Fareler-Uretti2.jpg\" data-lazy- title=\"\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/kasifiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Bilim-Insanlari-Mamutlari-Geri-Getirme-Yolunda-Yunlu-Fareler-Uretti2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16325\" style=\"width:820px;height:auto\" title=\"\"><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Next Step: Genetically arranged Asian elephants<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Colossal,<\/strong> In order to verify the success of the process they developed, he first performed tests on mice.
