Scientists trying to bring the extinct mammoth back to life

Harvard scientists are trying to resurrect the woolly mammoth which went extinct around 4,000 years ago. The team, currently at cell stage claims to be two years away from creating a mammoth-elephant hybrid embryo. Referred as 'mammophant', the animal would be an Asian elephant with mammoth features such as small ears, subcutaneous fat, long shaggy hair and cold-adapted blood.
