Isn't that on an endangered species list.....lol?   :D

Nope its on the extinct one so its fair game lol.
That and he has all the licenses to do the dealings so no legal concerns he gets them from old gold miners
Imagines a grizzled bearded old man panning for gold and selling old bones on the side  ;D

Yep, I tried panning for gold a couple times, just for fun.
The last few years it's gotten popular again since gold is so high.

Nah I saw a show on TV not long ago where this Alaskan couple goes out and digs them out of the ground as one means of earning money (they live in a very remote area).  Apparently they aren't all that difficult to find although maybe a fully intact one is.

That's some tough digging.
Awesome scenery though...Is there a company offering Alaskan cruises/tours for BTC yet?

Coming to a zoo near you ...

The experts believe they will be able to extract high quality DNA from the remains which have undergone a unique autopsy in Yakutsk, capital of the Sakha Repblic, also called Yakutia. There was palpable excitement among the team which included scientists from Russia, the UK, the USA, Denmark, South Korea and Moldova.

Radik Khayrullin, vice president of the Russian Association of Medical Anthropologists, said in Yakutsk: 'The data we are about to receive will give us a high chance to clone the mammoth.'

He immediately called for responsibility in bringing the ancient beast - a native of Siberia - back to life, urging that this is not done to play God.

'We must have a reason to do this, as it is one thing to clone it for scientific purpose, and another to clone for the sake of curiosity'.

But theoretically the possibility exists that this female mammoth will become the parent of the first of the species to walk the planet.

Mr Khayrullin also acknowledged that the mammoth cannot be identical to the creatures that become extinct between 4,000 and 10,000 years ago.

'It will be a different mammoth to the one living 43,000 years ago, specially taking into account that there will be interbreeding with a female elephant.'


A Frankenmammoth?

I'm absolutly obsessed with how that story spreads in different sources!http://cointelegraph.com/post/vancouver_man_selling_woolly_mammoth_tusks_for_275_btc (http://cointelegraph.com/post/vancouver_man_selling_woolly_mammoth_tusks_for_275_btc)

Nonsense.

I believe like most parents, if God exists, he'd be very happy watching us mimicking him.

The quest to satisfy curiosity is an inalienable rights for human being; why does NASA exist, why go to Mars, why explore the Universe? it's mostly driven by human curiosity.
