Frank I know your aim was to be funny with this thread but you're actually closer to the truth then you really know!
Back in the mid-80s scientist in Russia started creating something they called the Pleistocene Park.
This is a nature reserve where they are trying to create the "Mammoth Steppe" an ecological habitat similar to the current African Serengeti, but colder and was around during the last Ice Age!!
When scientist start to clone animals that went extinct around the end of the last Ice Age these animals will have a place to live!!!
The ideas are not however entirely restricted to existing megafauna. There are hopes that one day cloning technology will be advanced enough to recreate a woolly mammoth, a species which became extinct at the end of the last ice age. Recent evidence however suggests that they may have survived into the Holocene with isolated populations of dwarfed individuals surviving on remote islands in the arctic circle such as St. Paul's island and Wrangel island, both of which are situated very close to the location of Pleistocene Park. Evidence points out that these populations could have existed as recently as 1700 BC. Another candidate for cloning could be the woolly rhinoceros.
