Pretty cool if they make it tho, since then you might be able to start breeding them naturally. Next stop: Jurassic Park!! | ||

Although, thinking about it... somebody would probably want to put it in a petting zoo because it's so fluffy ^.^ | ||

There will be no mix with elephant DNA. It would have DNA complelely identical to the cloned mammoth. Well except for the mitochondrial DNA which would come from the elephant egg cell. | ||

Elephant gene in mammoth only makes sense hahaha Well that was actually a flaw in Jurassic Park, even though it was supposed to be filling a plot hole. If the dinosaurs were to have frog DNA 'intertwined' in their DNA, the creatures would be very very different, probably non-functional, unless the filler DNA was not "non-coding." The same could and would go for the mammoth; it doesn't really matter how close of creature you chose, the DNA must be from a mammoth, otherwise you wouldn't actually create a mammoth. The only gaps that could be filled would be the ones that don't really decide what the creature is or how it functions. I really don't know much about the topic, but this is just my two cents. | ||

An ice age section, jurassic period, triassic etc. That would be so awesome. You did SEE the movie, right? Turns out to be NOT SO COOL for a lot of the Park's visitors.... | ||

Giant woolly amoeba death viruses! That's even more awesome than ultras, for sure! In all seriousness, though, this is absolutely awesome! | ||
