Baby mammoth remains found in Arctic

@Hoaxhunter....so eager to argue. Try and get a life you sad loner.I see humour isn't a strong point of yours.I imagine you probably look like Stephen Hawking(before ill) with buck teeth that frequents the town centre in a rain mac in the middle of summer. @davidyates... funny.

Can they extract DNA from it? Scientists have already mapped part of the genome sequence...in the next 5-10 years they could clone a mammoth but I don't see a good reason for doing so. We have enough problems protecting elephants already.

Isn't it kinda strange that both infants were perfectly preserved without being partially consumed by scavengers. They must have been both completely covered in mud without the herd being able to help them. My theory is that the land suddenly uplifted causing liquefaction followed by freezing from altitude.

STEP 1: Extract DNA. STEP 2: Clone it. STEP 3: Gather fresh herbs, make a side of potatoes Au Gratin, choose a nice wine. STEP 4: Lets eat!

I'm surprised a moderator hasn't jumped all over you guys bashing each other.

I thought I read about this at NG a couple of years ago. Pics - Including the find Ice Baby A near-perfect frozen mammoth resurfaces after 40,000 years, bearing clues to a great vanished species. Thought so, the second link is dated 2009, Still, stuff like this does not get old does it! I... [More]

Can they extract DNA from it? Will a Mammoth Walk Again?

The one you linked to was compared to it in the article. Will a Mammoth Walk Again? Wouldn't the fertilization with frozen sperm path result in geneti... [More]

Yeah, that's the "Velikovsky" theory. A much simpler explanation is that the baby mammoth drowned in an ice lake and subsequently got frozen solid, or drownded during the breach of an ice-dam that caused an ice lake to empty during a flash-flood. Btw: they talk about it being preserved by i... [More]
