FthrJACK Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Specimens of the animal discovered last year have arrived at Kinki University's Gifu Science and Technology Centre in western Japan. "The bone marrow, skin and muscle specimens, frozen in nitrogen liquid... look fine. We first have to confirm whether these are really of a mammoth," said the centre's president, Akira Iritani. The DNA may be damaged and not good enough for cloning, as the remains are believed to be 200,000-300,000 years old, he said. The scientists are planning to use elephant eggs in the cloning process. Vektor Research Centre for Virology and Biotechnology of Russia has been working on the project alongside the Japanese scientists. Last year, the Vladivostok News in Russia reported that scientists believed they could resurrect extinct animals - such as the mammoth and the woolly rhinoceros - to create a prehistoric safari park in northern Siberia. The region's limited infrastructure was seen as one of the obstacles to establishing such a sanctuary.

Doggie Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 nice for them to clone them, and eventually cannot control them and cause mass panic in the area of cloning Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamehead200 Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 For god's sake...If they can clone animals because it is legal, then why is it illegal to clone humans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmondScar Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Maybe tey're afraid humans will go on a rampage if it goes wrong? wait thats animals....or maybe they might accidentally create a super human-anaimsl if somethign goed wrong...meh, beats me.

Unwonted Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 There's a reason wooly mammoths are extinct: BECAUSE GOD DECIDED THEY ARE TOO DANGEROUS!Wooly mammoths are able to shoot laser beams out of their eyes and nose and they breathe fire and their skin is impenetrable and they can liquefy your brain using only ESP. They probably give you halitosis too.I only hope that the scientists die in horrible "accidents" before they can resurrect this apocalyptic beast.Just my thoughts...

FthrJACK Posted July 21, 2003 Author Share Posted July 21, 2003 no, if any of you have ever seen a mammoth, or any other animal for that matter that has been dug out of the perma frost in siberia you will know that they are perfectly preserved.young mammoths are often found and look like they died yesterday. ill try find some piccies...*back!here we go, heres a good example, nicknamed "dima" this baby mammoth was found int he 70's i think:no its definately not a dinosaur is it.Mammoth wool:more info on some of the frozen animals found in the region here:http://land.sfo.ru/eng/main.htmheres another after being preserved, you can still see some fur left on his back legs. if you look and imagine how he would look with his trunk only being as long as the nasal bones in his skull...what animal would it remind you of? a pig? same family of mammals i think, but shows some genetic link regardless.
