Woolly Mammoth To Be Cloned

Within 5 years, a woolly mammoth will likely be cloned, according to scientists who have just recovered well-preserved bone marrow in a mammoth thigh bone. Japan’s Kyodo News first reported the find. Russian scientists are now analyzing the marrow, which they extracted from the mammoth’s femur. The mammoth was found in Siberian permafrost soil. The huge mammals went extinct around 10,000 years ago.
