I read some stories about this. Someone claims a resurrected mammoth would need to be on antibiotics 24/7 to protect the animal from the all diseases that have developed or mutated since extinction.

There was a reason that these creatures became extinct.

Usually the mother transfers antibodies to the fetus but it may be an issue if they are different species (proposal is to use an elephant surrogate). So you may be correct. It may have to go much further than antibiotics though

And then what? The Woolly Mammoth was a herd animal so you would have to clone several beasts. At the same time, they would starve since their grazing area, the steppe tundra/mammoth steppe no longer exists.

In 1970, the SMERSH facility believed to house Hitler's remains was scheduled to be handed over to the East German government. Fearing that a known Hitler burial site might become a Neo-Nazi shrine, KGB director Yuri Andropov authorised an operation to destroy the remains that had been buried in Magdeburg on 21 February 1946. A Soviet KGB team was given detailed burial charts. On 4 April 1970 they secretly exhumed five wooden boxes containing the remains of "10 or 11 bodies ... in an advanced state of decay". The remains were thoroughly burned and crushed, after which the ashes were thrown into the Biederitz river, a tributary of the nearby Elbe. According to Ian Kershaw the corpses of Braun and Hitler were thoroughly burned when the Red Army found them, and only a lower jaw with dental work could be identified as Hitler's remains.
I hope no one will be able to find the remains of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and other totalitarian socialist heroes of the far left. When today's socialist leaders die (no names, but even the West has one), this is one more reason to make sure their remains are obliterated.

That is a bunch of hooey, The animal would adapt.
Otherwise we would die when going on vacation overseas.

Someone claims a resurrected mammoth would need to be on antibiotics 24/7 to protect the animal from the all diseases that have developed or mutated since extinction. Unless they were able to do some half mammoth, half elephant hybrid. That might do the trick.

I am surprised that as of yet, as far as I know, they haven’t tried to harvest eggs from humongous ovaries!
Some might be viable...

How many years ago did I start predicting the cloning of mammoths? 10?
My question bad always been, why mammoths? Why not big bunny rabbits? Or giant sloths? Or Neanderthals with that cute little slot in their jaw?

I presume they’re going to use an elephant as the surrogate mother. A lot of immune factors come from the mother’s milk so let the mama elephant nurse it. No reason to think the immune system in general wouldn’t handle modern bacteria and virii.
