I wonder if they will try to mix some of it's DNA with an elephant?

I am no scientist, but my guess is if there is DNA, they would try to clone by using Elephant(I think nucleus), take out the elephant DNA and put this in. If it is 2.5yrs old, it doesn't look massive, so I would guess an Elephant could carry the baby. But then, if they have only DNA from one, would they allow it to mate with regular Elephants? It is kinda interesting.

There is a group of South Korean and Russian scientists working together with some bone marrow found to clone a wooly mammoth.

They think that because an elephant is also a pachyderm, they can get one to give birth to a real wooly mammoth.

Then there's a project/undertaking to resurrect them and have them breeded, etc. over the course of the next 100 years or so.

I do not see a problem with this one being cloned, but the question would be, do they have DNA of others. I am guessing the Elephant would be a resurrect mother, meaning none of her DNA is in the Mammoth. So, if they clones this one twice, the offspring, I am sure would be deformed. A clone, impregnating the opposite sex clone, produces what?

Best reason I've read for bringing them back so far.

You start at cloning Mammoths.

Eventually, every man has his own Kate Upton or Megan Fox (pre-surgery).

Where do I sign up?

It just looks like a deflated hairy elephant to me.

That or Brain's winter outfit.
