A marker, ink, and paint pen cartoon of five mice (drawn as individuals, not connected) with long hair and huge wooly mammoth tusks, plus a regular mouse. Hand-written text above the cartoon says “The Wooly Mammoth Mouse Project had unforeseen consequences…”.
Clockwise, left to right:
A wooly mouse reared up on their hind legs, tusks up in the air, with a speech bubble that says “RAAAR!”.
A wooly mouse rolled forward on their tusks, back legs in the air, with a speech bubble saying “WTF?! What did you DO?!!!”
A wooly mouse rocking on their tusks, entire body in the air, waving their feet, tail hanging down.
A wooly mouse lying on the ground in profile, nose to the left, with a regular mouse sitting on the curve of their tusks.
A wooly mouse shown from the tail end, all four feet sticking up, their nose and tusks visible over their chest, with a speech bubble that says “too… heavy…”.
To over explain the joke, the researchers didn’t realize the wooly fur and huge curved tusks were on the same gene. THIS IS A JOKE. Unfortunately, the real spliced mice are just very furry and cute.Personally, I think tusks would be an improvement.

I saw the video showing mice spliced with wooly mammoth genes, and, well. Just a thought.
FYI, mouse teeth grow continuously throughout their lifetime.
