More like ever, but for it to be successful it will take 22 months gestation in an elephant.

True,

But they will know if the implant was successful or not before that. The two trickiest parts of cloning is getting the enucleated egg cell to combine with the somatic cell of the mammoth and have it start dividing and then having the blastocyst implant in the surrogate mother's placenta.

So were the Koreans/Russians just jacking with us or is this really happening?

Last September they found the best preserved baby mammoth and they believe it may still have living cells!!

Also a japaneeses group is also looking to clone a mammoth... Give it 5 years max and you'll see your first cloned mammoth... Book it!!

Wait...who found it...and how can there be living cells?

My bets are on the Japanese making it happen first.

If they actually succeed and create one of these animals (prehistoric anything) I think the term wild and aggressive will be given new meanings.

Or it will come out with much higher intelligence and force us all to worship it.

I agree. Then they'll kill it and harvest the tusks to sell as an aphrodisiac.

My bet in on the Japanese scientist as well... The dude is well known for his innovation and just win the novel prize in physiology and medice last year!!
