Mammoths may roam again after 27,000 years

BODIES of extinct Ice Age mammals, such as woolly mammoths, that have been frozen in permafrost for thousands of years may contain viable sperm that could be used to bring them back from the dead, scientists said yesterday.

Research has indicated that mammalian sperm can survive being frozen for much longer than was previously thought, suggesting that it could potentially be recovered from species that have died out...

Look at the pics before each meal and the just try to eat.

Oh, man, that is one rough diet plan. Better stick with Weight Watchers --- :-)

Don't laugh~ if it becomes possible some idiot/s will bring back dinosaurs and other creatures that we probably don't need and can't deal with. I'm quite sure there are people racking their brains trying to come up with ways to accomplish this.

[lastchance]

Let's not forget along with Mammoth comes Mammoth droppings? You think global warming is a problem now??? Wait till you get a whiff of mammoth methane.

...and they will use them to impregnate what eggs?

Well since you asked...........

[Calpernia]

The good thing is, those Mammoth droppings can be used to generate electricity.

What will the dangerous dog breed banners do when the orders are put in for T Rexes?

[SunkenCiv]

Feed the dangerous dog breeds to the terrible lizards?

[Gamecock]

Well I'm not cleaning up after them.

[hosepipe]

Worse than dinos that run in packs like wolves..
are Muzzies.. More intelligent than a dino but with less morality..

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

I always wanted a side of ribs like in the start of the flintstones.

[pepsionice]

I'm willing to bet that a T-Rex will be brought back to life in about 100 years. It will be interesting to see just how much money they waste on this...and where they intend to let ole T roam.

"Be interesting to see how this story develops."

I wouldn't hold your breath on that one. Pterosaur-like creatures have been reported from New Guinea (and South America for that matter) for decades. I'm afraid this is just a bigfoot with wings. Actually it would be harder to hide a Pterosaur since they are flyers. Not saying it isn't true, I would love for it to be, just not likely.
