Woolly Mammoths could rise again from their permafrost graves.
In the past Scientists have clone Mice that were frozen for 16 years! Most recently scientist cloned “Dolly” the sheep. AND now Scientist have announced another first…
They are cloning the Woolly Mammoth. Scientist in Japan at the “Riken” Research center are opening the door to Resurrecting the extinct species. Yes that is right, If you have ever seen the movie ice age, that big elephant looking thing frozen in the ice, could be coming back to life. Originally the Scientists did not think that this would work because the ice crystals that grow in the ice would cause damage to the cell’s structures inside, however what scientists at the “RIKEN” center have discovered is that it’s POSSIBLE.

Remains of a whooly Mamoth have been uncovered in the Russian permafrost and these may contain intact cells that could be used to create a clone. Perhaps the saber-toothed tiger could also be resurrected as well! CRAZY!
There are still obstacles in the way however, to create the clone you need a surrogate egg for DNA and a mother to carry it…. I know what you are thinking… How will we get a mother from an extinct species? They are going to fertilize it in an ELEPHANT… Oh the poor elephant, what will it think when it pops out a woolly Mammoth? Basically a frozen genome from the woolly Mammoth is going to be planted into the egg from the elephant…
Oh dear, Jurassic park is real People. The extinct shall rise again.

oh and Aaron this blog is dedicated to you, not because you ARE a woolly Mammoth, but because you have the same initals... Wiggly Mort!
