It’s really scary to think how close we (scientific community) came to never finding her. Just think of how many others have been found, but where seen as bad omens or bad luck and left to rot.

It is time to clone her and then breed her with a pig. I want a pot-bellied mammoth of my own!

Looks kind of flat. Roadkill?

If you read the ‘Polar Shift’ novel from Clive Cussler you’ll find amazing similarities (on the mammoth find, not the rest). When reality meets fiction.

I don’t care that much of global warming (we’ll die anyway), but it should bring some interesting discoveries with the permafrost melting.

could we please ignore the politics and get back to the science?

so glad this wasn’t found a hundred years ago- you know, when they would have made steaks out of her.

Neat link! I’m in the middle of watching the whole series now and hope it ends with a Japanese scientist cloning it!

Why do some people need to bring up global warming every time there is a video with snow in it? LOOK SNOW, SEE YOU HIPPIE, TREE-HUGGING, NEO-FASCIST, COMMUNISTS ARE WRONG!

But everytime ice melts or its hot out GW gets mentioned, how can you possibly acuse my side of doing what your side does all the time.

Doesn’t look like it’ll be walking any time soon.

Anyway…

I just got the latest national geographic that had that baby mammoth on the cover, so I’ll have to check it out. I wonder if one day they’ll finally be able to clone one of these creatures.

Climate changed without man so it’s impossible for man to change it?

I was hoping for more biology and less anthropology in the video.
Bring on the clones!

Interesting change occuring between then and now. Wow the climate changes without man involved -someone ring a bell.
