According to scientists, for all the 200 years of studying these animals, the degree of conservation found mammoth rated as the best.

Thanks to the surviving soft tissue in the lower part of the body, the work on genome promises to be successful. As for cloning, there is an important task allocation and extraction of so-called living cells from animal tissues. If this procedure goes well, the fund Sooam experts from South Korea would be easy to spend a mammoth cloning.

Although the front and an enormous amount of hard work, experimenters overflowing optimism and hope for a long-vanished animal reproduction.
