Yes... I remember... in Spanish they called it "Mamufante" Tongue Out

(Mammoth + Elepahant = Mammophant)

At last I know what "gtg" means! Where will it grow up? Into Panda's head?

Glad I could help Pulp.  

Meanwhile, The Cloning of a mammoth programme wasn't very good really.  Mad scientists & wishful thinkers mostly.  The preserved bits of mammoth though & the actual life of creature, was fascinating.  Eight calves, lived to fifty or so, got bad teeth, lost condition & got stuck in a bog & died.  Poor mother mammoth. Undecided

Where were they living MS? Smile

Are you now a mammoexpert? Tongue Out

Avatar of marcosite

Sadly not an expert SP.  Mother Mammoth lived somewhere in Siberia & I did notice lots of Scientists into cloning are South Korean.  Besides, I wouldn't want to clone one poor creature to live in a zoo for us to all point at anyway.

You can get your dog cloned for 100.000 Dollars though! Laughing

Scientists want to bring 24 animals back from extinction (Dodos make the list... but dinosaur DNA is so old, Jurassic Park isn't an option)

Species include dodo, the Carolina Parakeet, and the Quagga, a plains zebra

The process is called 'de-extinction' and poses a number of ethical questions

10 years ago teams brought back extinct wild goat - it lived for 10 minutes

From the article:

The Woolly Mammoth, related to the elephant, lived on Wrangel Island in the Arctic Ocean until 4,000 years ago. Scientists are hoping to use well-preserved DNA from a frozen woolly mammoth carcass to bring the species back from the dead

But I remember first hearing about the Mammoth plan around 1997...

Interesting... It makes me kinda freaked out though. Someday, people will be able to steal a little of your dna and clone you, without your permission. :/

I didn´t understand Pulpofeira´s post very well.

Is he calling you "mosquito"?

You two should exchange avatars. I'm getting nuts in this site.
