Scientists predict that in only a few years, there is a possibility woolly mammoths will be among us again!
In August of 2002, a frozen preserved woolly mammoth was found by tusk hunters in Siberia. The last woolly mammoth died in 1650 BC, but the next living one may be here in your lifetime!
Scientists have made it official: the cloning of woolly mammoths is upon us. It is predicted that in 2027, through gene editing, Colossal scientists will eventually create an embryo of a woolly mammoth. They will place the embryo in an African elephant to take advantage of its size and allow it to give birth to the new woolly mammoth.
The new woolly mammoth will look very different due to some traits that the African elephant mother will have. Perhaps its ears will be larger, and its tusks will be shorter. Nonetheless, woolly mammoths will be back.
