Woolly mammoth containing liquid blood discovered in Russia

[Nikki]

The discovery of a woolly mammoth's body in Siberia this week has amazed Russian scientists because of how well preserved the animal's blood and muscle tissue is.

The mammoth, which is estimated to have lived 10,000 to 15,000 years ago, was discovered on the Lyakhovsky Islands in northeastern Russia by an expedition team from North-Eastern Federal University.

The scientists believe the blood and tissue of the animal was preserved due to the permafrost, permanently frozen soil.

But I heard they could clone it?

Perhaps. I'll believe that when I see it.

Regardless, I think it would be cool to bring back some animals that "no longer exist due to the planet's cycles"

If all of humanity was wiped out, I'd hope that whatever creatures are controlling the earth billions of years from now would bring us back to study us and give us a second chance at existing.
