This gives me high hopes for the woolly mammoth clone, although the clones seem to live no longer than a day.

why do people care so much about species going extinct? Millions of species have gone extinct before....millions of species will go extinct again. Its the cycle of life.<p>I mean sure its pretty horrible that a whole species goes extinct...but why does it matter if there are 300 species of goat or 299.<p>For every species that goes extinct, another 2 spring up to take its place. Adapt or die. Why should we coddle the inferior species? Let the nature take its course. Remember, if the dinosaurs didn't go extinct, man wouldn't have survived.

Why didn't they just dist-upgrade a heron?

I think you could cross-reference different sources to error-check the incomplete DNA.

Sweet. Can we have Jurassic Park now? Why or why not?

The coincidence between this and Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex being out clearly demonstrates the power of Linux.<p>It's even playing god now! All hail our new Canonical master!<p>Prepare for the Jackalope to become real sometime after April.
