A Mammoth of an Undertaking

Move over Dolly the sheep, scientists have discovered their next mammoth of an undertaking.  A Woolly Mammoth that is.  

According to reports , "Scientists have discovered well-preserved frozen woolly mammoth fragments deep in Siberia that may contain living cells, edging a tad closer to the "Jurassic Park" possibility of cloning a prehistoric animal, the mission's organizer said Tuesday." Expedition chief Semyon Grigoryev stated, "Only after thorough laboratory research will it be known whether these are living cells or not," he said, adding that would take until the end of the year at the earliest."  

Woolly mammoth's have not been around for over 10,000 years.  If accomplished a cloned mammoth will definitely be something to see during future field trips to the zoo.  For more on the expedition and Grigoryev's  team please go to the following link: http://www.foxnews.com/science/2012/09/12/jurassic-park-mammoth-fragments-from-siberia-may-be-clonable/?intcmp=features#ixzz26JDP5c6R
