Mammoth ‘Jurassic Park’ May Be Under Development In Northern Alberta

[Locutus]

Drive a half hour north from the tiny town of High Prairie, Alberta, and you are confronted with a landscape that has changed very little in the last few thousand years: a cold plain stretches in every cardinal direction, spotted with hardy vegetation and crossed by swift-running streams that feed the region’s many lakes. This is the northern edge of the Boreal plains, where wheat fields begin their slow transition into the Canadian taiga and the immense empty spaces of the north. It’s a sparsely populated territory, peopled by close-knit families that work mainly in agriculture or the booming oil and gas industry. When 20,000 acres of farmland was purchased by a South Korean mega-corporation in September 2013, it was unusual enough to raise eyebrows.

I hope they find an ancient trampoline. Wouldn't that be a hoot.

Maybe in South Korean terms but not Canadian.

Big enough for a game farm. in 25-30yrs...we might have Americans coming
up here to do the 'fish in a barrel' hunting thing, to take home a trophy. How
much would someone pay to have a woolly mammoth head mounted on the
wall in their den?
