We may be close to mammoths!
When you were a kid, what was your biggest dream?
Come on... admit it. You wanted to see a living dinosaur!
ADMIT IT!...
No? Ok, fine. Well, despite your insistence on not wanting to see a live dinosaur, we may be close anyway to reviving our prehistoric animal brethren.
Scientist believe that sperm found in the bodies of frozen wooly mammoths may still be viable. Frozen carcasses have been found in Siberia and by their estimate, there could be millions more.
The process of creating a mammoth would involve injecting the sperm into the eggs of a close genetic cousin, in this case an Asian elephant. This process in theory would produce a "half mammoth."
What a scary, yet exciting prospect!
