Of all the creatures from the prehistoric era of life on Earth, only one has a living relative that still roams the planet today in a form closely related to the original. The Woolly Mammoth was a massive, hairy elephant with enormous tusks that roamed the cold tundra of Europe, Asia, and North America from about 300,000 years ago up until about 10,000 years ago and differed little from the modern-day Asian elephant.
The existence of frozen soft-tissue remains and the DNA of woolly mammoths has led to the idea that the species could be recreated by scientific means. The Woolly Mammoth revival project is still going strong today, with several methods proposed to achieve this goal, including cloning, artificial insemination, and genome editing.
