Alpo Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 If it is being preserved in a glacier, as it says in the next to last paragraph, why are they thawing it out with a fire hose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Rick Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Why did they have to say it was an extinct wooly rhinoceros? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used water to extract it from the permafrost. Once free of the permafrost they moved it to a glacial ice cave so that it would refreeze, thereby preventing it from decomposing until they can stabilize the remains.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 And they pull it out of the tundra when the temps in Siberia are fawty, fitty, sitty below so it can flash freeze just like Clarence Birdseye intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Good thing them things are extinct and not roaming around North America! Hope they aren't thinking of trying to resurrect it using its DNA in a modern rhino, like has been proposed for wooly mammoths! Got enough problems with traffic from Denver west up I-70!

Sixgun Sheridan Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 There actually was a movie called "Iceman" back in 1984 starring Timothy Hutton along the same lines. A caveman was found frozen and revived, and of course the movie became a Jurassic Park-style clash between the ancient world and the modern one. It actually was a pretty interesting movie.

Michigan Slim Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I'd like to see the mammoth or wooly rino's in my woods. It would give me a real reason to make full house loads for my Sharps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
