With a total raise of $75 million to date, the startup aims to  have its first set of mammoth-elephant hybrid calves \"in 4 to 6 years,\" co-founder and CEO Ben Lamm told us. But Colossal's goals extend much further\u2014with the potential \"to advance human health, enhance food production, reduce environmental impact, and optimize animal health and welfare.\""}
