Extinct woolly mammoths, cave lions and other long-gone species may be brought back to lifee in a new £4.5million cloning facility in Russia, scientists claim.
The new Jurassic Park-style centre will be a "world class paleo-genetic scientific hub" in the world's coldest city, Yakutsk, in the remote north-east of the country.
Vladimir Putin's exact plans will be unveiled in September at an investment forum but experts say the centre will aim "to study extinct animals from living cells - and to restore such creatures as the woolly mammoth, woolly rhinoceros, cave lion and breeds of long-gone horses".
The cloning laboratories - some sunk deep in the permafrost soil - will extend research by Russian scientists who are already working closely with South Korean specialists.
They've found DNA from the ancient animals preserved in remains encased in frozen soil - or permafrost - for tens of thousands of years.
Dr Lena Grigorieva - who drafted plans for the centre - said: There is no such unique material anywhere else in the world.

Mammoth burgers....mmmmmmmmm
><
But you’re only allowed to use spears to hunt them. Lol
Plenty of room in Siberia for Mammoths
Russia agrees to breed mega-GOP elephants to please President Trump. (There’s plenty of collusion packed in that trunk!)
Google Lake Vostok & organism 46b. Might help explain their increased interest in things “extinct”
One of the scientists involved supposedly defected when he realized Putin was interested in weaponizing the creatures venom.
Right now 46B is relegated to the stuff of “Outer Limits”
:-)
Well, giant killer squid aside, there probably are a lot of organisms we haven’t discovered yet. I don’t see any sense in re-making dead ones.
Rosie ODonnell is involved somewhere
Vladimir Putin's exact plans will be unveiled in September at an investment forum but experts say the centre will aim "to study extinct animals from living cells - and to restore such creatures as the woolly mammoth, woolly rhinoceros, cave lion and breeds of long-gone horses".
IOW, the whole thing is fake. "Nearby we'll be working on the cost-saving reusable Moon rocket, and that's right next to our Time Machine." Thanks EdnaMode.
Not to mention Mammoth Burgers and Mammoth steaks.
No doubt someone will try to sell bigger burgers and steaks.
Get yur mammoth Mammoth burgers and enjoy one of our 23
pound mammoth Mammoth steaks!
Mammoth burgers on unleaven buns with aged million year old
chedder.
For what purpose?
Russia’s cloned neanderthal army
Putin is a decade late and lots of rubles short. The Koreans have been working with Russians in Yakutst for sometime now collecting tissue from existing wooly mammoths that have been frozen intact for eons. The most famous of the mammoths is the baby “Buttercup” whom I believe we discussed here a long time ago.
The Koreans are actively cloning dogs and cattle and are experts in the procedures. The scientist on the video showed his work and advised that cloning a mammoth would be very hard. The cloned egg would be implanted in a female asian elephant.
The interesting video is here

For the record, my friend in california called me yesterday to tell of his trip to Alaska and the Taiga and the Russian taiga and the active quest for wooly mammoth DNA.
For ten years I have secreted away a box containing fossil mammoth ivory I intended to make jewelry from. I got it out and started messing with it today. It is very easy to work and a beautiful piece was polished up in just a few minutes. I think I’m goig to be rich!
Making 19th century billiard balls out of mammoth ivory was not unheard of.
They won't need a whole body to clone it. Scientists extracted Denisovan DNA from a tiny finger bone.
That DNA may not have been sufficient to replicate the entire genome, but your point is correct.
Good~!
