Building a More Mammoth-Like Elephant

[Still Waters]

For years, scientists have been looking for ways to bring the long-extinct woolly mammoth back to life - and although the exercise sounds like a science-fiction movie plot of "Jurassic Park" proportions, there's progress to report.

The result almost certainly won't be a resurrection of the tusked behemoth exactly as it was thousands of years ago. It's more likely to be a genetically modified elephant that's adapted to the mammoth's traditionally chilly Pleistocene habitat.

No thanks, Mammophants will just be one more species on the endangered list.
