40,000 year old Baby Mammoth found

It is so incredible to me that a Baby Mammoth who walked this earth over 40,000 years ago was found in perfect condition.

Apparently this 6 month old little baby got stuck in the mud and suffocated. She was found in nearly perfect condition in Northern Russia. She even had traces of mothers milk in her stomach.

Cloning? Is it possible?

I haven't heard it yet but I wouldn't be surprised if Scientist decide to clone this Mammoth in order to learn more about it. The idea is scary but in this day and age it is possible.

What do you think?

WendyKrick predicts:

I predict that one day people will be talking about cloning the Baby Mammoth

brandonmotz predicts:

Honestly, as soon as I started reading this lens, that is immediately what I thought. I would not be surprised if "they" already are trying to clone a baby mammoth.

TylaMac predicts:

I predict scientists will find a way to mix mammoth DNA with that of a modern elephant. At least I've read they are trying to find a way to do it. It seems plausible to me.
