Scientists working to revive the woolly mammoth have accidentally created the cutest mice in the world. Introducing: the Colossal Woolly Mouse. Colossal Laboratories and Biosciences announced that it has created almost 100 living cotton balls by genetically engineering mice to display cold adaptation traits similar to those in woolly mammoths. Such traits include fur which has been significantly altered in colour, texture, and thickness, as evidenced from the prodigious amount of fluff on these squeaky powder puffs. Yet as cute as these critters are, the Colossal Woolly Mouse's aggressive adorableness wasn't the end goal. These mice are just the latest development in Colossal's quest to "de-extinct" the woolly mammoth. Crucially, the biotechnology company isn't resurrecting a woolly mammoth from a preserved woolly mammoth cell. Instead, Colossal intends to alter genes from the closely related Asian elephant to create a representative, or proxy, species. We're still far from seeing the first genetically modified woolly mammoth calf take its first steps, and reasonable concerns remain about the endeavour. Yet regardless of your views on Colossal's woolly mammoth project, the need for more positivity and hope in the world is a sentiment most people can agree with. The little fluff balls are a pretty good start.
