Chimera Nomenclature
Another round of stories are out about the possibility of creating a modern-day wooly mammoth, Jurassic Park-style.
The process would include injecting frozen wooly mammoth sperm into an egg of a closely related species. In this case, an elephant would be the logical choice.
And in case you were wondering what you would call such a thing, I’ve already explored the possibilities in a previous post on chimera nomenclature: it would be called a “mammophant,” with the full taxonomy being mammophantus snuffleupagus.
