Why do you think scientists would choose to use the egg of an elephant to try to grow a woolly mammoth?

What is the name for the woolly tassel on a bell rope?

We certainly had tassels on Bell-ropes when I was in the RN. They were called "tassels". The tassels were not separate from the rope but made by un-laying and spreading the fibres making-up the end of the bell rope. Many bellropes, perhaps most, did not have a tassel.

Bell ropes were made by a rating on-board who enjoyed and was well practised in rope work. I made one myself and was given it when I left HMS Obdurate.

I still have it.

Why is the dodo extinct?

we have to blame humans and animals

According to Wikipedia:- When humans first arrived on Mauritius, they also brought with them other animals that had not existed on the island before, including dogs, pigs, cats, rats and crab eating macaques which plundered the dodo nests, while humans destroyed the forests where the birds made their homes.

The dodo bird is extinct because when man were alive the cut down all of the trees and dodo birds then had nothing to eat because dodo bird used to eat fruit of the trees of Mauritius island.

ALSO I HAVE NO CLUE !!!

Because it was defenceless. When people arrived on the previously un-peopled island of Mauritius, people walked up to them and clubbed them on the head, and some other animal invaders ate their eggs and young. This drove the dodo to extinction - and the expression 'as dead as a dodo'.

Males would have left the herd when they were old enough to fend for themselves.
