A woolly mammoth has been uncovered in Siberia and, according to scientists, is so well preserved its DNA could be used to clone it bringing back an animal who hasn't walked on earth in 10,000 years. Paleontologist Dr Tori Herridge was part of the team involved in the autopsy of the animal - who lived more than 40,000 years ago. When asked if scientists could use fragmented DNA and mix it in with other animals like in the film Jurassic Park, Dr Herridge said: "That's exactly what a different team are trying to do in the USA."
