Free Woolly Mammoth Poster

Depicted is a lone woolly mammoth as it perseveres through the relentless snow, sleet, wind and ice to only become yet another extinct species of yesteryear's Megafauna. Nothing was able to save the Woolly Mammoth back then, but today may be all together a whole different story. Scientists are once again talking about the potential to clone a woolly mammoth- should living cells be found among the beautifully preserved frozen mammoths that were recently discovered during the 2012 Yana Expedition in Siberia . Evidently they found some decently preserved mammoth fur and bone, which could hold the key to a successful woolly mammoth cloning. If those intact cells containing their nucleuses are found to be living, then a living mammoth clone could very well be created- using a Japanese technique involving the insertion of woolly mammoth DNA into an elephant embryo. Only time and testing will determine whether they have uncovered a viable resource for such an endeavour.
