TL;DR Summary

Colossal Biosciences aims to bring back the woolly mammoth by 2028 through a process of combining DNA from ancient specimens with that of modern Asian elephants. The company plans to implant woolly mammoth embryos into surrogate elephants and find partners willing to release them onto their land. With the melting of permafrost in the Arctic Circle, more woolly mammoth remains are being unearthed, providing the necessary genetic material. Colossal Biosciences has raised $225 million in funding and has grown its staff to 115 scientists. The company also has plans to de-extinct other species, including the dodo bird and the thylacine.
