S.Korean, Russian scientists bid to clone mammoth

I like the idea. Let them clone! If they succeed, The Asmo will be pleased.

Saw this and immediately thought of the conversation here about pet dinosaurs:

Unescopceratops was tiny, maxing out at about six feet long but often closer to about a meter in length, and it weighed less than 200 pounds. That's positively gigantic to the Gryphoceratops fossil that was discovered. The specimen, which the paleontologists believe to have been an actual adult, can't have been more than two feet long, making it easily the smallest horned dinosaur ever found in North America and one of the very smallest plant-eating dinosaur we have found.

Forget mammoths and stegosauruses, I want some of these. They're already shrunk.

They were very good at clearing snow, you could probably make good (or evil) use of one.

Actually given global warming we'll have to plant loads of forests on Antarctica so they can live there. That'll piss the penguins off!

Nothing wrong with His Asmoness combining the two. 

Good for The Gray one. Evil for those he intends to dominate.

Never know, a large supply of cloned Mammoths could feed a lot of people.
Mmm Mammoth burgers!

Well if protein production were an issue there should be millions of buffalo being farmed in the USA. They are more efficient than cattle in converting grass to meat!
