Japanese researchers are working on a plan to resurrect the mammoth within five years. They plan to do it by cloning the long extinct pachyderm. That is a bit scary especially considering all the Hollywood stories about these types of experiments and how they can go wrong.
One of the biggest obstacles seems to be determining why the animals became extinct, in the first place.
There is a reason why the mammoth is extinct, and that reason is hotly debated among scientists. Most of the mammal's remains have been found in the Sakha Republic in Siberia, which is a region that is still quite cold today.US NEWS PAPER
