Pickled baby mammoth discovered! Can scientist resurrect the mammoth?

kaya ba sa scientist to make the mammoth alive again through DNA?
If it be done, it would be great to look at and experience....


The story....
'Pickled' baby mammoth opens window to Ice Age - USATODAY.com

A baby mammoth dubbed Lyuba had her brief life cut short in a swamp 40,000 years ago, but the well-preserved specimen will provide the world a window into the extinct creatures from the Ice Age

Discovered in 2007, the 1-month-old mammoth died suddenly, probably trapped in mud. "She was doing great, very healthy," says paleontologist Dan Fisher of the University of Michigan, part of the international team researching Lyuba. "She just had this terrible misfortune."

Lyuba appears in the May National Geographic and in Waking the Baby Mammoth Sunday (9 p.m. ET/PT) on the National Geographic Channel. She's perhaps the best-preserved mammoth ever discovered: Lyuba's skin and internal organs appear intact, as well as traces of mother's milk found in her stomach. The only damage to the mammoth, which is less than 3 feet tall, are bite marks from village dogs.

Covered in coarse hair, the woolly mammoth, Mammuthus primigenius, roamed Eurasia and western North America at least 200,000 to 10,000 years ago. Dozens of partly intact woolly mammoths have been uncovered from Siberia's tundra, but Lyuba exhibits remarkable preservation. "She's all there," Fisher says. Preliminary analysis by Fisher and colleagues suggests the clay and silt that swallowed up the baby mammoth effectively "pickled" her.

Given the state of genetic engineering nowadays, give it 5-10 years. Can-do.

Just in time to be rendered extinct by climate change.

Nyahahaha. However, if they were genetically altered to withstand the intense heat of global warming, then they would possibly survive...but they would have to be given a new name... Naked Mammoths (sans woolly hair).

That if your "climate change" survives too.
