Before you ask, no, it doesn’t have little tusks. But like the woolly mammoth that inspired it, the new genetically engineered mouse from Colossal Biosciences—a biotech company striving to bring extinct species like the mammoth, dodo, and Tasmanian tiger back from the dead—does have thick, wavy hair with a coarse texture.

To create the animal’s fluffy golden coat, scientists combed through dozens of ancient genomes, then modified multiple mouse genes in one fell swoop.
