FRESNO, Calif. -- Russian scientists discovered a frozen woolly mammoth in an icy tomb off the coast of Siberia. Approximately 10,000 years old, the creature was so well-preserved that some of its blood and muscle tissue was intact.
That means that just like in Steven Spielberg's blockbuster movie "Jurassic Park," scientists could theoretically bring the woolly mammoth back from extinction using live DNA found in the blood. Critics say just because we can clone a new woolly mammoth doesn't mean we should.
