Cloneable Mammoth cells found!!

Most interesting. What I have always found interesting is how a animal of that size ever found enough to eat in Siberia given what we know of the eating habits of modern elephants.

Surprisingly large amount stuff grows in Siberia during the spring and summer. They probably built up huge fat reserves to help them last though the winter.

Yes, funfunfun! Lets bring back all the extinct ice age animals

Some cloneable T-Rex cells would be better. Having one of those as a pet would be a surefire grade A way to get rid of those annoying door to door religion salesmen!

If they can do this with an Ice Age creature, have they tried doing it with some of the more recently made extinct creatures?

[ArmorPierce]

Yeah, they're saving some specimen of a tasmanian tiger in a bottle of alcohol till technology catches up and they use it to clone it. Of course, they would have to overcome the opposition shouting stupid shit like stop playing god.

But is it enough to feed a elephant? and is the food that is currently there what a mammoth would have eaten way bavk when?

I don't think today's atmosphere has enough oxygen for dinosaurs.

I think so. An area encompassing one forth of the worlds forests will grow quite a bit. I'd suspect they moved south of the Amur in winter though, assuming that river was even around. I have no idea how old it is.

But the question is what kind of forest, I am pretty sure that elephants dont eat pine needles if that is what is out Siberia way. Thats the trouble with a project like this, will the modern environment/food be suitable for a animal that is extinct?

I don't think we'll be repopulating the Earth with mammoths. Food shouldn't be a big concern as long as we can find a substitute. As for enough food, again, we probably aren't going to be making more than we can feed.
