All I need now is Forrest Galante x MeatEater collab to die happy
yes
Thank you for having our Chief Animal Officer, Matt James, on for the show. De-extinction is conservation!
Thanks for joining us!
75k cloned dogs, what's that? is that conservation?
@@Dandymansamthats available by all kinds of companies. He stated in the beginning cloning isnt new its a couple decades old. I dont think anyone calls that conservation but it is a milestone in genetic research which is the basis for genetic conservation work
I wish you guys would get Forrest Galante on the podcast. It would be a great conversation.
Couldn’t agree more. Been saying Steve should do the Wild Times Podcast with Forrest as well
@wyattford6248 yeah I think they would get along like nuts on a dog lol
I've been on a Galante and Meateater grind. I've been thinking about this, it would be a great convo!
Forest galante on this podcast would be good asf 👌 🙌 get the wild times crew too..
What a great podcast as always. NEXT, you guys need to get the guys from SEEK ONE on the podcast!
Great episode! This is definitely information that needs to be shared and explained to the masses.
Next to the meat tree episodes, this might be one of my favs. Well done.
Awesome talk and definitely in my wheelhouse of interesting things to discuss. I wish he would have gone into more detail about why/how the restoration of "mammoths" would restore or preserve the permafrost and their ancient stomping grounds.
I saw a couple of wolverines in Sweden after crashing on a test track doing ice and snow auto testing. Walking back to the start of the track for signal i saw them running parallell to the track. Being from the Uk i originally thought they were bear cubs, i didnt want to see mum so i ran. After describing what i saw, a local took me to a shop with a taxidermy wolverine on the wall and asked me if i saw that. Said it was pretty rare to see them, they were happy to find out they were in the area still.
Interesting thing about bull boats: we were recently in Scotland and ran into a gentleman at the Highland Folk Museum in Newtonmore whose passion was these small, cloth or hide covered crafts known as coracles. He relayed the story of the Welsch prince Madoc, who apparently, had influence on indigenous tribes such as the Mandan peoples as evidenced by their use of bull boats that resembled Welsch coracles, among other things. Pretty interesting. Obviously I'll be building one for duck hunting.
Your Scientists Were So Preoccupied With Whether Or Not They Could, They Didn’t Stop To Think If They Should~ Malcolm, Jurassic Park, 1993.
I had to put this in...
I think it would be really awesome to see wooly mammoths and other things from by gone eras the question is is there actually enough room for them. There are a lot of humans on earth today and we dont as a rule like being killed by megafauna or giving land back to nature.. #justonemansrant
Maybe if they're kept in a zoo or a park? What could possibly go wrong there?
@@carsonbiggerstaff5860 maybe a bad storm could knock out the power and they could all get out and cause mayhem....lol
The mammoth’s habitat is still around there’s just no mammoths there. Secondly Jurassic park is a horror movie, bad things are supposed to happen. Also there is already a park in Siberia set up for the mammoth and they are wanting to put them in Alaska too I think. They wouldn’t be a threat to humanity at all considering we can easily wipe them out. Also the environment never healed from the mammoth going extinct and if we reintroduce it to its environment it would be super good for the environment.
@@Kentuckyhunter58all good points for sure. I'd like to counter with it feels like anytime man messes with an environmental factor we get it wrong... Aisian Beetles, Rabbits/Hares in Australia, to some extent wolves. If we can't manage the small ones how could we possibly expect to manage the big ones. Also is it ethically sound to do it?
I had a buddy who saw a wolverine while on a Boy Scout trip up longs peek. This happened in the early 90’s. About 10 years latter another fella I knew saw one near the same spot. I saw one in the mid 90’s in North Port Michigan.
What about passenger pigeons? That would be cool to have again one day!
I hate to be that guy, but Steve's crack pot theory of birds having hidden dinosaur secrets is actually correct. Look up the chickenosaurus project
We need this bio technology implemented into the pacific nw spring salmon and steelhead fisheries specifically into our hatchery and broodstock programs
I find it interesting just how niche the meat eater family of entertainment is. Like I would think you guys would be a household name and everyone would know about you. But in reality you pretty much have to be an outdoors nerd to really dig it.
cant help but notice the "Safaris" on steves cup, quick googling later i think meateater has some africa content coming
I hope you’re wrong, would be a major left turn for the brand.
What an interesting podcast!
Your morel story was good. I once spent all day looking here in kansas and got home took the trash out and there was about 20 of them against the shed besides a tree. First ones I ever found
How do you get just one podcast without all the others?
discrete population segment : distinct population segment :: federal monument : National monument
I have a question to Meateater. What happened to the podcast on spotify? It cut off before in the middle of the last question.
I want Matt Rinella back on the podcast ASAP. Thank you.
Not gonna happen... him and Steve had a falling out
Nah, I’ll pass, that dude has nothing of value to say. Anyone who thinks they have more of a right to hunt in this country than someone else can pound sand and fuck right off. That dude hates antis just as much as he hates his fellow hunters. He wants it allllll to himself.
@@dangerousdylan6262 Thank you for stating the obvious Dylan, really appreciate your thoughtful insight.
Said nobody ever.
A fresh set of eyes will always find more genes
That guy needs a bigger shirt! But fuc* this episode was damn good.
where did all the podcast and trivia shows go on the youtube?
This is opening, a Pandora's box man.
No this isn’t Jurassic park. Quit thinking this is like something out of movie. The mammoth would literally save the northern environment.
@@Kentuckyhunter58 it is beyond absurd you state that so definitively. you have no idea what will happen, neither does anyone else. history is replete with examples of well intentioned humans coming up with "solutions" that actually make things worse. and WTF do you mean by "literally save the northern environment"?
I wonder I'd this technology he mentioned with the qual in Australia could be adapted to be used on trees like the American chestnut
This is being actively done but a team up in New York. See Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't's podcast on the American Chestnut. From several months ago but a great discussion.
Great ideas on bring mammoths back, gotchya! So what! There back! Gumasses
Messing with nature doesn't always work out well. Hopefully in the future we aren't looking back wondering how we screwed everything up so bad.
The possibilites of this project are amazing. But I wonder what will happen if the worlds population keeps increasing at the present rate. All the de-extinction is going nowhere if there is no unihabited land left.
My big question is how these animals like a mammoth are actually going to become wild? There’s no momma mammoth and herd to learn how to be a mammoth from. Do we just hope their instincts kick in?
Edit: To be clear, I sure as hell would love to see a herd of mammoths running around in my lifetime.
Next lets do T-rex and sabre tooth cats. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Don’t wolverines need a huge hunting area and don’t like other wolverines. How much space are they going to need.
hey,what happened to your wrist?
Carpal tunnel.
27:10 What happened to Steve's wrist?
Otter attack
Carpal tunnel
Think he’s a good guy with good intentions but one day he will regret being the public relations for this project.
Everyone who thinks this is something like jurassic park or thinks it’s a bad ideal needs to go back to school. Y’all clearly aren’t educated enough on the science of these things. I’m willing to bet that most of you don’t even know that the mammoths habitat still exists. I’m also willing to bet that most of you don’t realize the environment and ecosystem never recovered from the extinction of the mammoth and the other megafauna. If we don’t bring back the megafauna then the ecosystem and environment they lived in will never fully 100% recover. The megafauna are a crucial part to the health and longevity of the ecosystem and environment. The mammoth would also slow the release of gas from the melting permafrost by packing the snow down and allowing the ground to freeze further down during the winter and then during the summer less permafrost melts and releases less gas. Also the tundra ecosystem isn’t supposed to be covered by trees like it is now, it’s supposed to be wide open grass land like the African savanna. All of these reasons are why we absolutely need the mammoth
you have no idea what you're talking about
You can't hunt wallabies and possums in Australia
Better lock up the Dingos then
I saw people spotlight hunting wallabies on my last trip to Tassie
The habitat/ecosystem doesnt exist for this type of project, plus the moral and ethical questions are simply too large and divisive. Interesting conversation though.
Good pod just so much going on the guest gets lost in all the nonsense ... Disappointed
Terrible not Great
Janis and his body language tells the whole story
English is my second language, so please excuse any mistakes I make.
This is the scariest podcast I have ever listened to. The fact that they want to exterminate species like that to make room for their science projects should raise red flags. What will happen when they end up messing up something, and whatever they put in the ecosystem to exterminate things jumps species?
