Scientists created “woolly mice.” They’re cute.
This is a new kind of mouse created using gene editing to give it woolly mammoth-like traits because the company that made them is trying to bring back the Woolly Mammoth.
Not cloning or resurrecting it, but editing existing animal’s genes to make it look like a woolly mammoth, which they plan to do with Asian elephants, their closest living relative.
Along the way, they created this Woolly Mouse by analyzing preserved DNA from Woolly Mammoths to pinpoint genes that made them suited for cold weather and then looking for similar genes in mice.
Using the gene-editing tool CRISPR, scientists edited seven mice genes all at once and the mice turned out with thicker, wavier coats and a slower metabolism. They didn’t insert any new genes into the mice, they just combined a bunch of genetic changes that have already been observed individually in healthy mice into a single mouse.
And we have an INCREDIBLE story coming about gene editing, so subscribe to see it!

My grandma is a willy Mouse and she is not you
I want ittt😊
omg it’s so cute😭
that looks like my mouse
Yeah wolly mammoth is comming back
They just make the mouse like i want to keep it
I'm the real scientist. Just give the elephant the woolly Mammoth DNA and the woolly Mammoth will come back just like the real one.
Comment if I am the real scientist😅
Jesus will be so jelly
That’s sick and not in a Good way your not God so stop trying to play like it please this causes so many issues and problems
THERE SO CUTEE
SOOO C UTEEE

Why's so adorable 😭😭😭
Wait a phew years then they dont gotta do that shi theyll probably build a machine to resurrect animals like its a fallout game
Since mice’s biology is somewhat akin to human’s biology, I wonder if they could make the wooly person
I just know that there an off the grid Black Site somewhere, testing and doing this on people, I just can't prove it.
If they actually do bring the mammoths… We'll have even dinosaurs back atp✌️🥀 someone is build a real a** whole animatronic irl rn😭
I think the woolly mammoth
are harmless like elephants yes they are strong tho
cutest mouse that would ever exist🥹
i want it as a pet
I NEED ONE
THEY WOULD MAKE MORE THEN ELON MUSKS EARNINGS IN ONE DAY IF THEY SOLD THOSE 🤑🤑
So cute
THOSE MICE ARE SO CUTE I NEED ONE
The only way to bring back a Woolly Mammoth is by cloning it.
Making an Asian elephant have more hair doesn’t make it a woolly mammoth.
So they’re not bringing back a woolly mammoth. They’re just creating a hairy Asian elephant.
Zootopia be taking notes
Babe wake up the ecosystem just had a software update
Who knew we would make a mouse out of all creatures. Arent elephants afraid of mice? 😂
WHY IS IT SO CUTE WAAAAH
I hope they become pets one day because damn they're fluffy
