Genetic researchers have created a breed of woolly mice loosely based on woolly mammoth phenotypes. This is supposed to be a test run before they try to do the harder job of recreating the mammoth.

But why is there a... rock? donut hole? geode? hush puppy? Next to the woolly mouse? I feel like it's a pun I'm missing.

Is that what 1/8 of a byte is called when getting a donut in Canada?

But as a result yeah, often referred to that way in common culture.
