Siberian window on the Ice Age
By Adam Fowler

A Russian biologist has been trying to recreate a fully fledged Ice Age eco-system in a remote corner of Siberia, complete, if possible, with woolly mammoths.

Siberia as a tourist site?

Of course! Kill your own mammoth! Its head, trunk and tusks make for a nice wall decoration.
Since, today, you can kill a Siberian Tiger (350 left in the wild!) for US$ 200,000, a mammoth would probably run you between US$ 300,000 and 500,000 . . .

Why does a scientific experiment have to be a 'tourist site'? What kind of a shallow mindset is that?

Dick Cheney would want it in a 10 x 10 cage so he could shoot it from a helicopter with a machine gun.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

In this case, the word "Park" makes it seem like one. The authors' fault.

Now, now .... let's keep it interesting.
Only "Primitive Weapons" to be used while hunting Mammoth.
Spears and atlatl's only. And you have to flint nap your own
tools and weapons. No cheap Wal-Mart varieties allowed!

I knew a fellah like that once Min. When he had a gun in his hands the only safe place was behind him! :lol:

There's no bag limit on lawyers and they're always in season.

Apparently so. I never heard of a lawsuit being filed over the matter. Anything for money.
