Japanese and Russian scientists have recently found evidence that could enable them to cloning the extinct mammoth. Scientists found a perfectly preserved mammoth thighbone in Siberia; by extracting marrow cells from this thighbone, placing them into modified elephant egg cells, and injecting these egg cells into an elephant’s womb, it is possible that a mammoth could be produced. Scientists were surprised at the good condition of the matter of this thighbone; normally nuclei cells are damaged from extreme cold, but the ones in the thighbone found in Siberia are almost completely unharmed. Scientists have been trying to clone the mammoth for over twenty years, and they are very thrilled by this opportunity.
I was astonished to read this news. Frankly, I had no idea that it was remotely possible to clone a species that has been extinct for such a long period of time. The science and technology that makes this possible is unbelievable. The mammoth was truly a majestic creature, and it would be remarkable to see this species come to life again. I am thoroughly excited for that moment.
