    I think my favorite picture is you with a tusk over each shoulder.
    Short and fat hard to get at, hit like a hammer and never been hit back.

    I'd start getting into shape now, if you're planning on lugging that monster 8 bore across Africa!

    I've long been a proponent of 'Pleisto-Park'; bring back the Mammoth, the Wooly Rhino, the Sabertooth, the Short Faced Bear, etc. Place them on a large, purchased Arctic island, then run a hunting conservancy, told my wife that's what I'll do if I become an eccentric billionaire. My wife encouraged me by offering I had half the package already. 1 for 2's not bad, though I'm not a billionaire.

    Hm... Haven't we seen a few movies/read a few books that explain the implications of this project pretty well?

    Thing there is, while Crichton and Spielberg have layed out the consequences of foolhardy monster management, we would plan to have to shoot them.
