Scientists hope to clone a 40,000 year old woolly mammoth, meanwhile “Jurassic World”, the sequel to blockbuster movie “Jurassic Park”, is coming to theaters in June. Russian scientists were excited to find a mammoth carcass on Maly Lyakhovsky Island in the New Siberian Islands, found in the Arctic Oceans in May 2013, but they were entirely unprepared for what else they would discover. The carcass was almost entirely present and had three legs, most of the body, part of the head, and most of the trunk intact. When they cut into the beast, they discovered the flesh to be well preserved and dark red blood oozing out of the belly. “This is the most astonishing case in my entire life,” expedition leader Semyon Grigoryev told the Siberian Times. “How was it possible for it to remain in liquid form? And the muscle tissue is also red, the color of fresh meat.” Previously, mammoth carcasses have only yielded a few specks of dried blood and none of them had enough intact DNA for a cloning experiment, hence why this mammoth was such a fantastic find. The mammoth, nicknamed Buttercup, is thought to have fallen into the water or gotten bogged down in a swamp and died, unable to free herself. After becoming trapped, predators (likely wolves) ate her alive from behind. Share thevideographyblog/share/jurassic-world/ .
