Giant mammoth meatball grown from scientific lab unveiled
In the name of science and environmental protection, an Australian cultivated meat company has resurrected the flesh of the long-extinct woolly mammoth. Using advanced molecular engineering, the lab-grown mammoth cells were developed to advertise the possibilities of slaughter-free meat consumption that does not require large-scale livestock production.
Vow, a company creating real meat from animal cells in a lab setting, developed the prehistoric meatball using the soft tissue obtained from mammoth remains. The DNA collected from the mammoth’s myoglobin, the protein that often gives meat its flavour, was spliced with pieces of DNA from a modern-day African elephant, the species’ closest living relative. The result: one big meatball.
“There’s two reasons why we chose a mammoth meatball. So the first one is that we wanted to get people talking,” Vow founder Tim Noakesmith said. “The second reason is that the mammoth has traditionally been a symbol of loss. Mammoths we know now were wiped out because of climate change and we wanted to draw attention to a different future, something more exciting, something where we can eat our way out of extinction.“
The development of the woolly mammoth meatball begs one question: what does it taste like? Unfortunately, no one knows. Since mammoth meat has not been consumed by humans for thousands of years, scientists can’t be sure how someone’s immune system would react to the protein.
