Cloning an Epic Historical Mammoth

Have you ever wondered that prehistoric animals can reclaim again their lives and live in our era?  Well, it seems that this issue brings us to be more fascinated and generate different kinds of opinions. But according to scientists, they finally recreated life for an ancient animal that had been frozen for many years.

The researchers said that they created the life through cloning, but before that, the first cloned animal was a sheep named Dolly. She was called the world's most famous sheep back on her day but the first thing that came to my mind about her was Shaun the Sheep (funny TV show that airing on Disney Channel). They say that Dolly is the most famous sheep in the world but for me it was Shaun because of his viewers.  He is also in showbiz than Dolly. On the other hand, Dolly lived because of her three mothers (one that provided the egg, her DNA, and cloned embryo) but later she died from an organ failure due to lung disease five months before she reached the age of seven. Her life expectation was around 11 to 12 years but she lived only 6.5 years. The main reason of her illness was the lung cancer that developed progressive diseases and severe arthritis. This lung cancer was caused by Jaagsiekte (chronic disease that caused retrovirus that develops cancerous cells) which is a fairly common disease on sheep. Scientists stated that there’s nothing connected to cloning that caused the severe disease. They also speculated that Dolly’s death was instigated by genetic time limit that can last only a few years, but it gave legacy to impulse the scientist towards replicating visceral creatures.

And the story comes to the scientist responsible for Dolly’s creation. He said he can lead a 10,000-year old preserved ancient woolly mammoth to life that had lived in prehistoric ages. Do you know the two elephants with long curved tusks from the Ice Age movies? Well then they are woolly mammoths. It’s Manny and Ellie, with their daughter Peaches, and they are the example of the ancient woolly mammoth.  But there are risks that can lead the operation to be unsuccessful because method used on Dolly will only have a slight chance to bring back the mammoth’s life; instead there was other ways which can be fully suited on mammoths.

What if the experiment was successful? Can it lead to other benefits? Can it help us in our health difficulties?  As they said, the blood has extraordinary cells that can be immune to high icy temperature and can minimize the freezing damage; they can study about it and maybe discover some bizarre treatment that might be help us to lessen sicknesses. We don’t know the possibilities but it seems too far from reality. Some strange news came from one billionaire that he’s planning to build his own Jurrasic Park; he’s using his own connection and researchers to finish his dream… but what about me? I’m also planning to have one. I have some funds to provide the future expenses to build my mini part, I mean Jurassic Park, but hey I’m not saying that it’s only toys or something that I draw on paper, that’s a fact and trust me, will you? Anyway I’m excited to have my own gigantic mammoth and put it on our backyard.  I have already planned that we might have a lunch date and do some road walks when he’s bored. What about I teach him on how to catch some Frisbees? Sounds fun. That dino can be my best buddy ever haha.

On my closing caption, most people are astonished about this kind of revelation they did. It could lead to a fraudulent industry that makes people preserved dead bodies, and they hope it could bring them back to life with complete memories. It may lead to cloning pandemonium. This can be possible because our frame of mind was automated to give importance to those who are important in our lives, we will do anything to protect them and give all of what we have especially the one that gave us importance to accept the world of humanity.

Unexpectedly, another scientist found a perfectly preserved Woolly mammoth on the Antarctic Ocean. Thoughtfully it was fully preserved; the blood flowed when the scientist broke into its stomach. It’s still in liquid form that indicates preserving composition, defining that mammoth blood had some kind of “cryoprotective properties” (anti-freeze compound to protect from freezing damage). But the really crazy thing about this woolly mammoth found isn’t the fact that it bleeds fresh blood, but it’s because it’s twice the age of Earth (Biblical fundamentalist idea was that the age of earth is 6,000 years) while this mammoth aged 10,000 – 15,000 years.  How can it be possible that it bleeds fresh blood when it’s aged 10,000 years? It’s because of the properties that the blood had and it’s trapped by the glacial ice. Then latest news from the scientist was that woolly mammoth cloning is possible for now; the preserved mammoth body that they got from Antarctic Ocean gave them a high chance to clone the mammoth. That data was incredibly better than a body of a human buried for six months. They also said that they will be using an Elephant to be its surrogate mother (artificial carrier for the implanted embryo) because it is the closest living creature for them. They will implant a mammoth embryo into a surrogate mother which would give life for an ice aged creature. But scientists said that we don’t need to expect from them to have the perfect look of the ancient behemoth if the process was successful, it would be hybrid because of the carrier from the surrogate mother which is Elephant and we can call it Genetic Diversity (for example wolf and dog that reproduce that can cause different kinds of breeds), and they said that they’re doing this for the sake of human curiosity.
