They've been trying to clone a mammoth for years. They're having trouble finding unbroken DNA.

It talks about Japanese and Russian scientists trying to clone a mammoth. And I for one think that might be a cool idea. Not that I expect them to be viable, but just to see what they looked like and compare them to modern elephants.
The difference is there exists samples of flesh for these animals, as every once in a while one is pulled out of a glacier or the perma-frost somewhere reasonably intact.
