Previous efforts in the 1990s to recover nuclei in cells from the skin and muscle tissue from mammoths found in the Siberian permafrost failed because they had been too badly damaged by the extreme cold. But a technique pioneered in 2008 by Dr. Teruhiko Wakayama, of the Riken Centre for Developmental Biology, was successful in cloning a mouse from the cells of another mouse that had been frozen for 16 years.

...have you ever been charged by an elephant? It's very disconcerting.

Maybe they can fertize a mouse egg with mammoth DNA and get a medium-sized mammoth. (A mammouse?)

Add in a little gene splicing from the cacao tree, and we could have chocolate mamousse.

“Finally someone listened to me! This is the greatest thing ever. I forsee a world where we all ride mammoths to work instead of driving.”

Good. You're responsible, YOU get to clean up after them! I've done enough of that for horses!
