Then you won't have your other pets.

I think it would probably eat me too. I don't know what its prey was, but it must have been fairly big.

I do like the Irish Elk, but I love the mammoth. They must have been impressive to see walking across the tundra. Of all the extinctions this is the one that saddens me most. We should still have woolly mammoths.

Titanoboa ate crocodiles, fish, turtles etc etc. I don't know how many different kinds of turtles existed in that time, but there was one large turtle which most likely can't be swallowed by Titanoboa because that turtle's shell was wide as a dinner table. Then i think there was a 10 feet lung fish that lived alongside this monster snake. In modern day, few snakes swallow crocodiles and sometimes it doesn't work out properly. There was a case where a python swallowed the alligator and later exploded because the size of this gator is too much for that snake. However for Titanoboa, swallowing a big crocodile like the salt water crocodile is no problem.

Of course Mammoths are impressive. The Woolly Mammoth is one of my favorite animals and i think it makes sense that it doesn't have to exist now ? I mean, Elephants are near to extinction because of poachers. If Woolly Mammoths can be successfully cloned, what is the guarantee that the Mammoths won't be killed for their large tusks ?
