Before you get any ideas that we're cloning wholly mammoths back into the 21st century, it's not that. An American geneticist has extracted DNA from the frozen remains of a long-dead mammoth found on Wrangel Island in the Arctic Ocean (shown above), created a synthetic replica of it, and implanted it into elephant cells that have been isolated in a petri dish, using a new technique of DNA splicing that allows for unprecedented accuracy.

The technique used to join synthetic mammoth DNA fragments with the genetic code of an elephant is called CRISPR/Cas9, and while it’s been recently used to create transgenic organisms, this is the first time it’s been used on the DNA of an extinct organism.

Way to go!

Where is it found? In Russia! How deep is it? About 12 kilometers! That's deeper than the deepest point of the ocean, and it's the deepest hole humans have ever dug into the Earth. Watch this informative video,

Watch uranium emits radiation inside a cloud chamber. This is a small piece of uranium mineral sitting in a cloud chamber, which means you can see the process of decay and radiation emission.

Rhino beetles and other ginormous bugs are kept as pets, used in gambling fights, and also eaten as food. You've got to see the size of these things!

With shadows constantly moving, is this even possible?
