In 2018 while searching for ancient mammoth tusks in a Siberian crater, researchers found a 42,000 baby horse that was so well-preserved it had no deformation. Now scientists have revealed that they were able to extract liquid blood and urine from the foal and hope to clone the extinct species.
Before you start imagining scenes from Jurassic Park, a scientist critical of the cloning experiment told CNN that it’s unlikely the scientists will be successful, since the blood they found probably doesn’t have enough red blood cells to carry a good amount of DNA to clone.
