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

Well preserved tissue does not mean well preserved DNA, unfortunately. I guessing that the bull’s SPERM cells were frozen in his frozen testicles, in liquid nitrogen at a couple hundred degrees below zero (b.p. = 77 K = -196 °C = -321 °F), which is way different than the frozen tundra, even in Siberia or Green Bay..........
