At least five large crocodile mummies plus a few heads were discovered in a tomb in Egypt. Did the researchers quickly seal the tomb and run the other way? No, they removed the mummies for study. It’s like these people have never watched a movie before.
“Know this: this creature is the bringer of death. He will never eat, he will never sleep, and he will never stop.” - Ardeth Bay in The Mummy, soon before the awakened mummy eats and otherwise kills a bunch of people.
If one of those crocodile mummies tries to do a death roll, its bandages will unravel.
That’s nothing; these guys want to ‘resurrect’ woolly mammoth, presumably because they watched Jurassic Park and thought to themselves, “The problem is they didn’t breed species which can survive in freezing temperatures and rampage across the plains smashing everything in their path”:

I can see it now.
The crocodile mummies are purchased to be the centerpiece of a gala exhibition at the New York Museum of Natural HIstory. No expense is spared for the grand opening. Even before the appointed day, however, technicians and guards begin to die mysterious, ghastly deaths, and rumors of an ancient Egyptian curse, long circulating through the dark corridors and basement rooms of the Museum are once again being revived. Can an iconoclastic F.B.I. agent save the day before mass destruction ensues?
We’ve been down this road before…
Mummy #2: “No, you idiot, roll clockwise!”
King Tut – he ate a crocodile!
Well, when was the last time you gave your life for tourism?
Crocodile mummies, eh.
I’m more worried about Cat mummies.
They definitely curse you.
They do it alive, why not mummified?
I am such a fan of the iconoclastic FBI agent. Wasn’t there another one set in the British Museum as well? I’m going to be up late tonight looking for it.
Wait a minute, the mummy ATE people?
For certain definitions of “eat”.
Well, he was pretty upset when he discovered that his love Anck-Su-Namun just needed a beard because Osiris was a bit of a homophobe.
