Ice Age foal discovered in permafrost with liquid blood in its heart

[NoLifeLine]

Scientists have extracted liquid blood from a 42,000-year-old foal that was discovered in Siberian permafrost. The team hope they could collect viable cells that can be used to clone this extinct species of horse.

Permafrost preserved the ‘oldest blood in the world’ boosting hopes of bringing extinct species back to life.

The discovery was made by an international team of scientists who are also hoping in future to clone the extinct woolly mammoth from genetic material frozen in permafrost.

And what will we do with these ancient horses and wooly mammoths once they start reproducing? Gary

Damn fine bit of wisdom. Let's let this settle in, and stop doing stupid stuff just because "we have the technology."

Very cool

Who doesn't want a really hairy little horse? As for the mammoths, they should be released in Yellowstone, and Nebraska.

Maybe they can use the tech to just grow tusk and then kill the black market for elephant and rhino. That would be a good thing.

This would be so cool, hope they go for it..Providing they are able to get viable DNA from the samples....
