Now this is tansgender mice
- This is a transgenic mouse
  
  That's what they said /j
These mice are the first step towards us creating Pokémon
- Time to slap some electric eel dna in that bad boy and get a pichu.
Over my head.
- Genetic researchers have created a breed of woolly mice loosely based on woolly mammoth phenotypes. This is supposed to be a test run before they try to do the harder job of recreating the mammoth.
  
  But why is there a... rock? donut hole? geode? hush puppy? Next to the woolly mouse? I feel like it's a pun I'm missing.
  
  And it won't be recreating the mammoth, just giving mammoth-like features to an elephant.
  It's a truly strange project.
I wants it! They look so fluffy and soft
