Extinct Mammoth, Coming To a Zoo Near You
Techmeology writes "Professor Akira Iritani of Kyoto University plans to use recent developments in cloning technology to give life to the currently extinct woolly mammoth. Although earlier efforts in the 1990s were unsuccessful due to damage caused by extreme cold, Professor Iritani believes he can use a technique pioneered by Dr Wakayama (who successfully cloned a frozen mouse) to overcome this obstacle. This technique will enable Professor Iritani to identify viable cell nuclei, and transfer them to egg cells of an African elephant which will carry the mammoth for a 600 day pregnancy."
I recall the time they found those fossilized mosquitoes and before long they
were cloning DNA
Now I'm being chased by some irate velociraptors
Well believe me...This has been one lousy day
Jurassic Park is frightening in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone shut the fence off in the rain
I admit it's kind of eerie
But this proves my chaos theory
And I don't think I'll be coming back again
Oh no
I cannot approve of this attraction
'Cause getting disemboweled always makes me kind of mad
A huge Tyrannosaurus ate our lawyer
Well I suppose that proves...they're really not all bad
Jurassic Park is frightening in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things will harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm they're dinner not their friend
Oh no
Jurassic Park is frightening in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
What a crummy weekend this has been
Well this sure ain't no E-ticket
Think I'll tell 'em where to stick it
'Cause I'm never coming back this way again
Oh no...Oh no
Fuck that, I can't wait until one of these things goes nuts and starts goring the fuck out of everything.

I can't. I don't even know what wine goes with elephant, let alone what wine goes with mammoth.
'Cause they might be yummy!

Excellent. I could use a baby mammoth to help with the dishes.
Eh...It's a living.

think of all the damage kudzoo is doing in habitats where it is non-native.
The mammoths will eat all the kudzu.
If Slashdot were chemistry it would look like this:Cadaverine
Naw, she's too busy running for President and taping her reality show.
once the mammoth is revived, how do we keep Sarah Palin from shooting it?
intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
Its okay. If elephants get wiped out we can wait a few centuries and then implant elephant embryos into mammoth's so they can get their revenge.
A mammoth on a slippery slope would be very amusing to watch! Let's do it!
Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
You realize you're quoting Jeff Goldblum, right?
