Australian company Vow has created meatballs from an extinct mammoth.

The goal of the project is to demonstrate the potential of cage-raised meat without slaughter. The company decided to make mammoth meatballs because it is a symbol of biodiversity loss and climate change. It is believed that this animal became extinct due to human hunting and warming after the last ice age. No one has yet tried mammoth meatballs, since it is not known how the immune system of a modern person will react to an unusual protein. However, the experiment demonstrated the potential of cultured meat.
