Woolly mammoths had several adaptations to the cold, most noticeably the layer of fur covering all parts of their bodies. Other adaptations to cold weather include ears that are far smaller than those of modern elephants; they were about 38 cm (15 in) long and 18–28 cm (7.1–11.0 in) across, and the ear of the 6- to 12-month-old frozen calf ...
Because mammoth DNA is a 99.6 percent match to the DNA of the Asian elephant, Colossal believes that gene editing can eventually create an embryo of a woolly mammoth. The eventual goal is to ...
Woolly mammoths evolved a suite of adaptations for arctic life, including morphological traits such as small ears and tails to minimize heat loss, a thick layer of subcutaneous fat, and numerous sebaceous glands for insulation, as well as a large brown-fat hump like deposit behind the neck that may have functioned as a heat source and fat ...
The revival of the woolly mammoth is a proposed hypothetical that frozen soft-tissue remains and DNA from extinct woolly mammoths could be a means of regenerating the species. Several methods have been proposed to achieve this goal, including cloning , artificial insemination , and genome editing .

By: Patrick Jones and Michelle Rosique, Buzz60. There's actually been talk for a while about bringing woolly mammoths back from the dead. Scientists have been trying to figure out if it's possible ...
The woolly mammoth project, for instance, has sequenced the genomes of both the Asian elephant and the African elephant; has developed induced pluripotent stem cells with the ability to ...
In the woolly mammoth, Asian elephants will be used as surrogates to give birth to mammoth calves. According to research from Colossal, their DNA is already more than 99% similar.
