JAPANESE scientists hope to use parts of a mammoth preserved in the
Siberian permafrost to impregnate an Indian elephant with its sperm and
clone the extinct animal for display at an Ice Age wildlife park.

Organisers of the planned park are now populating it with species from that
time in preparation for the much hoped-for return of the mammoth. Several
hundred wild horses have been sent to graze in land set aside for the park
in the far North East of Siberia on the River Kolyma.

When are they going to bring the T-Rex back, I wonder.
