This came out the other day that I thought was pretty cool. It's about the, almost perfectly preserved & complete, 1 month old baby mammoth dubbed " Lyuba" that was discovered 2 years ago in the Russian north .

National Geographic has an excellent section devoted to this story. I only included a couple of links here as it is far better to go in & explore the whole thing. The article gives some of the findings from the last 2 years:

Milk residue found during the latter analysis, combined with a fat hump on the back of her neck, indicate that the baby mammoth was healthy and well fed, said team member Daniel Fisher of the University of Michigan.

Quote:

A small population of mammoths survived on St. Paul Island, Alaska, until 5,750 years ago, and another population survived until 3,700 years ago on Wrangel Island in Russia.

I have always been a little envious of our ancestors, getting to see the great herds of mammoths and mastodons roaming the plains of North America. That had to be truly awe inspiring. I hope they do try to clone one, I feel it would be a step in the right direction.

My god, that was great, I'm so mad I missed the show. Thank goodness for the video.

Thanks so much TC.

I don't know about cloning though. Like you said before painterfrog envious of seeing great herds... envious of ancestors... none of that would happen if it was cloned. Just a thought.
