Scientists Are Attempting To Clone The Extinct 40,000-Year-Old Foal That Was Recently Discovered In Siberia
With the recent discovery in Siberia of a 40,000-year-old Paleolithic foal, scientists are now attempting to clone the extinct animal and bring its species back from the dead.
As the Inquisitr recently reported, the ancient baby horse was found buried in the permafrost of a Siberian crater in a place that is referred to as the “Mouth of Hell.” The foal was discovered to be in such pristine condition that it at first appeared that it was still sleeping soundly instead of having been buried deep beneath the ground for 40,000 years.
According to the Daily Mail, a team of scientists from Russia and South Korea believe if there are still living cells inside the extinct foal, it may actually be possible to resurrect this species of Lenskaya horse. This, they feel, is just the “first step” in attempting to clone the woolly mammoth.
