Cloning a mammoth? I am waiting until they start farming mammoth for nice mammoth steaks and jerky.

I dunno man. You don't ever hear of elephant steaks. There must be a reason.

ConducTTor, why not? People use elephant meat to eat

Really? I never heard of that. Is it good?

I never tasted elephant meat :) but I know that some people eat it.
As I know you can taste it in some restaurants in Africa or Asia (Thailand, etc.)

Very interesting, and something I always thought would be cool to do when I first heard about cloning.
Here's a little teaser for Mammoth fans (includes some nice CGI):

I remember a sci-fi TV show in the fifties about a group of scientists who found a frozen baby Mammoth that they were able to thaw and revive.

Miraculously, through the wonders of the internet, I was able to find out more about that old TV show that was from the Science Fiction Theater series:

Don't you just LOVE the internet?

It's almost truth. :)
There is a "Baby mammoth Dima" found in 1977, in excellent condition:

and "Baby mammoth Lyuba" discovered in 2007

Cool teaser. Given the rate of animal extinction, I hope we figure out how to clone them (animals in general) some day.
