To study local ocean currents, Capt. C. Hunter Brown of the Glasgow School of Navigation set bottle number 646B adrift, along with 1,889 others, on June 10, 1914.

Should we revive the Wooly Mammoth?

Sorry it has taken me so long to post! Between putting names in Teacher Ease, Study Island, grading papers, and other things , I have been swamped! I do care about your thoughts and opinions. I believe a young mind is the best mind! I know everyone likes the movie Ice Age. Do we really want to bring those animals back? Just saw a show about a frozen zoo! We have DNA of many extinct animals in containers. The scientists say that if we keep going at the rate we are that humans will be the only animals left! Would you like to see the Woooly Mammoth brought back? Read the article below and let me know what you think about it. Happy posting!
