This will probably be eaten. most things that are on the verge of extinction are fair game for the Japanese dinner plate. If they can hunt whales to the brink of extinction why not have some Mammoth wrapped in seaweed.

Frozen Woolly Mammoth Arrives in Japan

Michael Moore forgot his long johns?

I'd like to see them find a way to bring one back to life.

Now HERES something we should Clone!!!
Use an elephant for gestation.

18,000-year-old frozen woolly mammoth from Siberia

Read a great book once on this subject of frozen mammouths:

There have been several almost complete woolly mammoths found in Siberia frozen in the tundra

1. How did a mammoth very large animal) survive in the Arctic?
2. How could a complete mammoth freeze fast enough to be preserved almost whole?
3. Why was their grains and pollens from a much warmer climate in his stomach?

[PoorMuttly]

Brrrrrrrrruuuup.

S'cuse me.

Guess I should have left more..like another leg....but

[SirChas]

Experts say the mammoth head, dug up earlier this year, is the most intact specimen of its kind recovered in 200 years.

Here tiz!

Many are cold, but few are frozen.

whew. i was worried that it got lost.

Wooly Mammoth story Ping.

[TC Rider]

..with theories pointing at human hunters, a killer disease or climate change.

Bush's fault.

I read a Louis Lamour interview many years ago, I think it was from Western Horseman but don't hold me to that. In one portion they asked him about a Sackett character of his who kills a woolly mammoth in the 1600s. Lamour recited both indian foldlore that discussed the whoolly mammoth as still being present when the White man arrived, and survivors of a John Hawken's ship. During the reigh of Elizabeth 1st John Hawkens (Hawkins?) traded African slaves for Spainish gold and silver in Mexico. He was attacked by the Spainards and forced to maroon some of his men when he lost several ships. (One survivor who sailed back to England was Francis Drake, who later paid the Spainish back with interest) Hawkens promised that he would return, but some of the men, stranded in Mexico and fearing thet he either could not or would not return, decided to walk out -- to Nova Scotia. Two or three made it after many years. One animal they they decribed as having seen when they made it back to England is clearly a woolly mammoth. Lamour pointed out that they did not make a big deal out of the mammoth because they did not know that it was supposed to be extinct.

"The Japanese organizers of the 2005 world's fair have shipped a 18,000-year-old frozen woolly mammoth from Siberia to become the centerpiece attraction."

Could be the next great Japanese sci-fi movie: "Mammzilla Stomps Tokyo."

Scientists may use mammoth cells for cloning

A frozen mammoth dug up from the Siberian tundra has been unveiled in central Japan in a preview of the six-month World Exposition, which is expected to draw millions of tourists. The beast, believed to have lived 18 000 years ago, has been preserved in a giant refrigerator... Full-bodied mammoths have been unearthed in the past, but this exhibit is billed as the most successful attempt yet to display the animal almost fully. The mammoth on display has tusks, a front leg and a nearly intact, soil-coloured head covered with muscle tissue and some woolly hair... Visitors can view the mammoth, which was excavated in 2002, from windows at the lab, where the temperature and humidity are controlled by computers. A group of Russian and Japanese scientists hope to clone mammoths from the animal’s remains by using elephant egg cells.

I'm sure, if there were Moslem terrorists operating in Japan, that they'd blow the place up just to kill as many people as possible.
