What are the consequences if the ground continues to warm after the permafrost thaws?
What happens then?
Permafrost in the Alps?
The rock massifs in the Alps are partly stabilized by permafrost. If this thaws, landslides can occur. The Alps were folded a long time ago. Was permafrost already there as a cement at that time? Why didn't they crumble immediately upon folding? Or is the friability a normal consequence of the aging of the rock?
How would you react if the news reported that a mammoth had been cloned?
How would you react? A project that has been underway for some time now involves transporting reindeer, horses, bison, and mammoths to Siberia. The ultimate goal is to have 10,000 animals living in the Pleistocene Park in Siberia. But the mammoth thing will be difficult. A mammoth could steer our climate change in the right…
Was there ever a well-preserved saber-toothed tiger (Smilodon) found in the ice?
Hello everyone, I'm a real fan of prehistoric animals! I know a lot about all animals from prehistoric times. Mammoths have been discovered repeatedly in permafrost soil, sometimes with blood. Unfortunately, without any intact cells. Now I'm curious to know if a saber-toothed tiger (Smilodon) was ever found in the ice. Whether there was an…
What do you think about trying to clone the mammoth?
Hello everyone, what do you think about the attempts to clone mammoths today? If they ever do, and they've already cloned them, what would you think? There's no habitat left for woolly mammoths. They lived in the cold tundra, which was their home. But the mammoth is good for the ecosystem. There's a lot of…
Would such a mammoth be able to survive today?
May I introduce you to the modern woolly mammoth! It lives in cold or tundra regions. Its diet consisted of grasses and herbs, which it ate throughout the day. In the modern world, it would be a great help to the ecosystem. The mammoth loosens the soil well and fertilizes the plants. To clone it,…
