Let's take it all way back to middle school science class. Remember when your teacher told you about the woolly mammoth? Well these now extinct prehistoric animals roamed the Earth more than 10,000 years ago, but they may be coming back. Scientists from Russia and Japan are working to bring woolly mammoths back by cloning the giant within the next five years. A mammoth thigh bone was found under permafrost soil in Siberia with its marrow in unusually well preserved condition. The Sakha Republic's mammoth museum and Japan's Kinki University will team up to recreate the mammoth using DNA taken from the marrow that is then put into the nuclei of egg cells of common elephants. The next step is implanting the embryos into elephant wombs to be delivered. Since the two species are close relatives, scientists are not foreseeing many complications. So what does this mean for us? There very well could be a new breed of woolly mammoth walking our planet by 2016. People on social media are drawing comparisons to the movie 'Jurassic Park' with one person saying 'Pliocene Park' doesn't have the same ring to it.' Some are questioning if scientist should do this kind of collaboration just because they can, tweeting that science has run amok and asking 'what could possibly go wrong?' Looks like we'll have to just wait and see.
Not many complications? The elephant is going to have the baby and go "WHAT THE ****?! I am never getting drunk EVER again"
That's fine, you can have your pet, I look forward to having mammoth burgers and them getting chopped up for new flavors in dog food.
Finally. Fur coats for men will be back in style. But seriously why the Wooly..I say bring back The Neanderthal.
Wouldn't want to bring back something superior to us. Can't have Homo-Sapiens losing their spot at the top.
we need real men again. this new crop of wuss will ruin the human race. You can get mammoth burgers now and again. They find some thawing out now and then. Still good enough to eat
