I wonder what Mammoth tasted like.  Beef or Chicken?

     I would think it tastes like Mammoth.   Actually, mammoth and mastodon have been dug up out of permafrost and eaten.

We really need to clone it and reintroduce it like the otters and elk, since they were really here first.  It would be pretty cool.  I may even sit in a field near Peck Ranch and see them come out of nowhere around dark, if you are lucky in a viewing area....

Yeah, I read quite a bit about the permafrost mammoths and mastodons and other critters, and yes, somebody tried eating the flesh.  As I remember, they didn't have anything good to say about the taste or texture.  The ultimate "freezer burn".

Yes, it is interesting stuff to me.  A different world those people lived in.

10 years or so their were some Korean researchers hard at work trying to clone them.  Not enough complete DNA to work with.

It's going to happen.  Several online sources mention 2027... but I've heard more recently that they may get the first one born in late 2024.  They recreated the genetic sequence, and the plan was to implant the test-tube fetus into an Indian Elephant, which would then give birth to the 100% Mammoth.  The gestation period of an Indian Elephant is long...18-24 months, so even once the successful implantation happens, we'll still have to wait for the birth.  One plan was to reintroduce them to Siberia, for starters.

It'll be really cool to see!  I have to wonder how well they will manage to survive.  They were successful during the last ice age... but we aren't currently in an ice age.
