Wolfdog91 6,825 Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 Think it depends on the critter and how it would survive/impact modern environments. Like some fish what went out a few decades ago due to pollution at the time ....ok sure , some breed of rabbit or some smaller predator ? Ok yeah sure.....a saber tooth tiger.....yeaaaahhhh idk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LOL ! Seriously though, it wasn’t an elk and evidently it’s closest living relative is the sika, and there are plenty of well preserved fossils, so it might be possible, who knows ? Cheers. Just read that it's closest living relative is the fallow deer, charts. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pewit 970 Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 I'm not sure what they can do with DNA but if they were to use a fallow deer as a host then the outcome would be a tad disappointing, I can't see the result being close to the size of the Irish Elk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol recently been going through some of the dinosaurs, extinct animals etc that used to be around, with my youngest lad, charts, and thought I'd read that about the fallow, so just checked lol Edited July 25 by shaaark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

She's not bad looking that bigfoot. I'm sure somebody on here could copulate with her. Maybe they already have and the baby was known as Mc Hull.

They can edit and make changes to the genome, like switching on the size part they will have already. Mapped the genome and by using the krisper tool they can hopefully make the correct matching editing to the host and splicing the original dna and fingers crossed it works when injected into the fertilised egg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd think the most likely outcome would be an intermediate species. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As it’s most prevalent in Judeo folk law Ive allways leant towards it being an actual event, not covering the whole planet , but either the breaching off the Bosporus or the breaching of the Pillars of Hercules, allowing a dry Mediterranean to be flooded. But this theory doesn’t hold water, (pardon the pun), with the fact there are flood myths in places as diverse as China and South America. Could ancient peoples have travelled from the Middle East to these other places taking their myths and folk law with them ? Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
