This little guy was cloned from a cell frozen for 16 years by extracting the cell nucleus and transplanting it into a live egg cell. Teruhiko Wakayama, the Japanese science team leader, is now headed out to find a nucleus to extract from the remains of mammoth elephants in the hopes that implanting the cell into the egg of a live elephant will produce a mammoth. "I have high hopes that we will be able to find a fine sample. It's said that there are more than 10,000 mammoths lying underneath Siberia" that died during the Ice Age, said Wkayama.
