Reading the Western media come to the conclusion that before writing the article, the authors use a laxative, mixed with drugs, then lay on the floor a photo of Putin with a map of Russia, put a stool and “soulfully” at her stand. So begins the “creative work”.
I present to You the next opus from The Daily Mirror. The author of the translation and article Valeria Sokolova.

“Putin’s Jurassic Park” — under this title The Daily Mirror have published your material. In the article “chilling” story about how, quote, “Putin’s clone army will be replenished undead mammoths”.
“Hairy monster” in the ice of Siberia
“Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin wished to see the hairy monster treads ice of Siberia” — scare foreign scribblers. At the same time, writes the Mirror, “in the Siberian permafrost and perfectly preserved samples of blood, and soft tissues of dead animals, so the Russian scientists have no problems with the source materials.” Using these materials allegedly it is possible to clone a mammoth.
At once I will tell: here the journalists telling the truth. Of course, very pleased to read that the Russian can do everything, but… so far, scientists have not managed to find any cell with a living-that would have survived after thawing, and spread into small fragments. Still, the authors of the Mirror is not worth it to skip the lessons of biology: the mammoth is not some sort of bacteria and the conditions of his suspended animation cells are not adapted.
A female elephant is born mammoth
And the desire to grow mammoth, using biological material of the elephant, looks very dubious. Don’t know how in the West, and in Russia, any student will tell you: mammoths and elephants are very distant relatives. About like foxes and wolves, which, incidentally, belong to the family dog. While scientists, for example, have repeatedly been able to clone dogs. However, they were unable to clone a Fox by using a wolf’s egg.
As one of the most influential mamontovaya in the world, a scientist of the International mammoth Committee Alexei Tikhonov, max, what you can expect is the creation of a transgenic elephant. That is the elephant whose genes partially replaced by the genes of a mammoth. “Come out and not a mammoth and not an elephant, but it is not clear that” — said Tikhonov. And this is assuming that the living cell is still there.
It remains to recall that in Russia banned the cultivation of GMO-cucumbers, not what shaggy 5-meter transgenic giants.
Siberian. Cave. Lions
There would be Western scribblers and stop, but there it was. Next — to-readers was very scary — the Mirror reports: according to insider information in the near future, Yakutia will build a research center cloning. There, scientists will restore not only the woolly mammoth, and other extinct monsters. For example, a Siberian cave lions. Which, although not as big as the mammoths (“only” about 300 kg), but eat only meat and hunt in packs. As the saying goes: do not go, children, to Yakutia to walk…
And of course without the mad Professor?
But that’s not all. Then Mirror writes that mammoths Russia quickens in cooperation with the Koreans. One of these scientists, the South Korean biologist Hwang Woo Suk, has in the scientific world a bad reputation, as he had once manipulated scientific facts. There were also rumours that the doctor put unethical experiments on human cells, but it turned out to be wrong.
However, even the enemies recognize that Hwang Woo Suk is very talented — the envy of colleagues he managed to clone a lot of dogs, while others can only gnash their teeth in anger. Note that our scientists — also very good and was able to achieve great things. So thinking about how all the same to try and clone mammoths, among biologists still go, but scientists do not consider them a priority. And without trust, things missing. However, perhaps in the future…
Another Russophobic attack
I must say that over the cloning of a mammoth at the time not only were Russians and Koreans, but also Japanese. Probably, the Western world would put a hand in this business, but — no luck. The Western world can only sigh and — in the framework of Russophobia — to write horror stories about the fact that “the Kremlin leader ordered to decorate the Russian land of woolly mammoths. However, in this case it is us.
