Thousands of years ago, a Siberian tribesman got in a lot of trouble over this....
“I didn’t eat the rest of that mammoth, I swear! I just buried it in the snow to save for later, so it wouldn’t spoil. It’s around here somewhere, we’ve just got to keep digging!”
BUT was there enough DNA to use to clone one (using a female modern elephant as a surrogate mother)? I would love to see one of these creatures alive and well. Maybe they could be raised—maybe they taste good too and could be raised for meat. Looks like they could live in Alaska really well with all that hair.
