Ice
Age Mammoth: Will This Ancient Giant Come Back to Life by
Barbara Hehner. Amazon
says:
Its
trumpeting cries blasted into the cold Siberian air. But its mighty
struggles only pulled it deeper into the soft mud. . . .
Could this have been the fate of the young woolly mammoth discovered
more than 20,000 years after it died? As scientists carefully thaw this
giant intact prehistoric mammal, they hope to learn more about how the
species lived and why it–the largest mammal to ever live–became
extinct. But most important, this animal’s well-preserved body may
help answer an incredible question–can the mammoth be cloned and one
day walk the earth again?
Breathtaking, accurate illustrations; full-color photographs;
fascinating maps; and informative diagrams bring the story of the
amazing mammoth to life in this large-size hardcover.
