To revive the huge Ice Age mammal, researchers would need to find LIVE CELLS ... Are you sure about that?..............

I think they just need DNA and DNA can last a long long time. Many Mammoths are nearly flash frozen in time with food still in their gut, so it seems very possible but not likely.

I believe all that’s needed is VIABLE DNA. Just as with the subject bull, there are many frozen mammoths with well preserved tissue.

They don’t need live cells, just intact DNA that can be amplified and spliced into elephant cells. Weren’t you guys paying attention during “Jurassic Park?”
