The Return of the Woolly Mammoth

Scientists are now claiming that the potential to revive the woolly mammoth species is now entirely possible.

Sort of.

Frozen Mammoths - like the one pictured right - could unlock the key to cloning them in the future. Jurassic Park, anyone? The problem is that, often, DNA is damaged by ice crystals when animals are frozen. However, recent experiments, in which mice frozen for sixteen years were cloned, prove that it is not an unreachable endgame to clone extinct species of animals.

Craziness.
