    ON A QUEST TO REVIVE THE WOOLLY MAMMOTH, COLOSSAL BIOSCIENCES HAS   
   CREATED A WOOLLY MOUSE (2 MINUTE READ) [7]    
      
    Colossal Biosciences has genetically engineered mice to have   
   mammoth-like fur using CRISPR. The mices' fur is of a color, texture,   
   and thickness that resembles a mammoth's fur. The woolly coat may   
   enable the mice to survive in cold climates. While the company   
   believes that it will be eventually possible to re-create the woolly   
   mammoth, there are still a lot of technical hurdles ahead.
