To clone mammoths is a long-standing dream of scientists all over the world. This is interesting from a cognitive point of view. And it may turn out to be beneficial from the point of view of the national economy.
It is no secret that ancient woolly mammoths were widespread not only in Siberia and the present Far North, but also over a much larger territory. Now they are extinct, only carcasses frozen in the permafrost and numerous bones remained. But scientists at the University of Michigan are optimistic. They are going to extract mammoth DNA from numerous fragments and clone a living animal. Fortunately, there is enough material for this. They found not only bones and tusks, but whole carcasses of dead animals. There have been many successful cloning experiments. And in this case, the researchers can get "Dolly the mammoth". Let's wish them good luck and get results as soon as possible, I really want to see a living mammoth.
After the successful completion of the experiment, the animals can be returned to their historical homeland. In the Khanty-Mansi archaeological park, bronze sculptures of mammoths are now installed. When the experiment is successful, the bronze mammoths can be replaced with living ones.
