Welcome to Jurassic Park Meets…Fool Around and Find Out!
“The time has come,” the Walrus said,
”To talk of many things:
Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax—
Of cabbages—and kings—
And why the sea is boiling hot—
And whether pigs have wings.”
I guess we just can’t get enough. Wooly mice? What next T-Rat?
Move over, Jurassic Park—we’re officially in Rodent Park now. In a move that has scientists, animal lovers, and every person with a mouse phobia collectively clutching their pearls, Colossal Biosciences has just grown a woolly mouse in a lab.
Yes, you read that correctly. Not a woolly mammoth. Not a prehistoric sabretooth squirrel. A woolly mouse.
At first glance, you might think, “Aww, a tiny little fuzzy mouse—how cute!” But let’s be honest: this is how it starts. One minute, it’s a harmless, lab-grown furball, and the next? You wake up to find a five-foot-tall prehistoric rat knocking over your trash cans.
Will it get bigger? Good question. And, honestly, that’s where things get concerning. Right now, scientists claim it’s just a “normal-sized mouse,” but let’s not forget:
Science is sneaky. First, it’s a little lab mouse, then they “accidentally” tweak a few genes, and suddenly it’s “Bubonic Plague: Deluxe Edition.”
Evolution is petty. Nature already gave us regular mice, capybaras, and the absolutely unnecessary nutria rat. What’s stopping this thing from evolving into something bigger just to flex on us?
We’ve seen this movie. Every sci-fi horror film starts with someone saying, “It’s totally safe!” Then 20 minutes later, boom—there’s a giant, mutated rodent chasing people through the streets.
If you’re wondering, “Why a woolly mouse?” Well, Colossal Biosciences is the same company trying to resurrect the woolly mammoth. Which means their next project could be anything. Here are some highly scientific predictions for what they might bring back next:
🔹 Saber-Toothed Hamster – Adorable but would absolutely rip through your cereal box like a mini T-Rex.
🔹 Mega-Possum – The world isn’t ready for an opossum the size of a small horse, but science doesn’t care about our feelings.
🔹 Jurassic Pigeon – Because today’s pigeons aren’t aggressive enough—let’s make them prehistoric and bigger.
🔹 Veloci-Raccoon – Imagine a trash panda with claws and a hunger for destruction. Your neighborhood’s garbage cans will never be safe again.
Probably. But until we start seeing mysteriously large mouse droppings or hear reports of rats the size of golden retrievers stealing picnic baskets, we should be fine.
Ah yes, we’ve been here before. First, it was baby alligators—cute, tiny, harmless… until they outgrew their tanks, started eating everything in sight, and suddenly, people were flushing them down toilets like that was a logical solution. Fast forward, and we have urban legends of sewer-dwelling gators the size of compact cars.
Now, enter Woolly Mice—small, fluffy, and totally safe… until one day, little Snowball starts demanding steak instead of seeds. And next thing you know? Someone’s releasing a not-so-little prehistoric rodent into the wild, because “we just didn’t have space anymore.”
Cue the headlines:
“Woolly Mice Overrun Suburbs – Experts Fear Jurassic Rat Uprising”
It’s all fun and games until your city’s pest control hotline is flooded with reports of giant, furry rodents dragging entire pizzas down storm drains.
In the meantime, if you see a woolly mouse wandering around your house, maybe don’t feed it. We don’t need another “Gremlins” situation on our hands.
Would you keep a woolly mouse as a pet? Or are we one lab experiment away from a full-blown Rodent Uprising? Drop your thoughts in the comments before the mice take over.
