A $10B Startup Wants to Bring Back the Woolly Mammoth and Dodo Birds – Casson Living – World News, Breaking News, International News

Have you ever imagined a world where woolly mammoths walk the Earth again? Well, that dream might not be as far-fetched as you think. Colossal Biosciences, a biotech company with a daring mission to resurrect extinct species, is causing a stir in the scientific community with its ambitious plans.

With an impressive $435 million in funding raised in the last three years and a recent $200 million investment from TWG Global, Colossal is on a quest to make de-extinction a reality. Led by entrepreneur Ben Lamm and biologist George Church, the company is set on bringing back three iconic species: the woolly mammoth, dodo bird, and Tasmanian tiger. Through cutting-edge technology and a team of over 170 scientists, Colossal is reprogramming the genetic makeup of these extinct creatures to bring them back to life.

This process involves a combination of ancient DNA, current DNA, and advanced genetic engineering tools. For instance, did you know that a woolly mammoth shares 99.6% of its DNA with an Asian elephant? It’s truly amazing to witness how science is pushing the boundaries of what is achievable.

But Colossal’s mission doesn’t end there. The company is also exploring the reintroduction of these resurrected species into the wild, working closely with various stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition back into the ecosystem. Beyond just reviving extinct animals, Colossal is also investing in other tech ventures like Form Bio and Breaking, with a focus on conservation and sustainability.

As the company continues to expand, supported by investors like Victor Vescovo and Peter Jackson, the opportunities seem boundless. Who knows which extinct species Colossal might tackle next? The era of de-extinction is upon us, and it’s an exhilarating time to be alive.
