The researchers reported that the mammoths could save the Earth from global warming.
The last mammoths walked the earth about 10 thousand years ago.
According to scientists, these animals could help to protect the future from disastrous climate change. In this regard, experts will try to clone the ancient animal with the help of tissue in the remains of a wooly mammoth named Buttercup.
Scientists say that changes in the DNA sequence and the genome will allow us to bring animals to life in a few years. Using genetic engineering experts will copy the DNA of the mammoth and insert it into the genome of a living elephant. The study was based on a tissue of a mammoth named Buttercup the remains of the animal found in may 2013. The main part of his body is well preserved. The research was able to understand that the mammoth died after the attack of predators.
The return of the mammoths will contribute to ecosystem recovery and prevent further melting of the Arctic ice. Otherwise, the planet expect landslides, erosion, loss of water resources and ground subsidence.
