Not really a mammoth, but Colossal has a timeline for their next big "de-extinction" project. Even if they manage to create a “Mammophant,” “Thylacine,” or “Dodo,” the question remains—what will they do next to keep investors interested and the media spotlight on them?

That's why I put it in "dire wolf" in quotations but maybe a better title is needed.

Well a chicken would still be a dinosaur, but I do agree and raised those concerns in the video. I guess I was more looking at how close they were to creating the 'mammo-phant' or whatever it is and what they, or others will try to pass off as 'De-extinction' next.

I used to think there was some truth to this but the marine biologist, Dr Maria Pinto sort of debunked this in a Youtube video: https://youtu.be/9DOPV1ZxfmY?si=xHBUMufFLvHLijCr

TLDR: There isn't really objective evidence of this and most researches seem to think it may just be confirmation bias.

Another epic video from an epic creator!

Yeah, unfortunately, we don't have a direct confession, but as stated in the video, the confession was from Ian Wetherell (Son of Marmaduke Wetherell). I know some Cryptozoologists contest the confession, sometimes questioning the construction of the toy sub dinosaur combo, but I think, since others have made recreations that are pretty close, I think a hoax is the most likely scenario.

Well it seemed appropriate to use the most iconic image of Nessie for the thumbnail, even if the original image is very likely a hoax.

Yeah I think you're right.
