Findings revealed January 23 in the journal Theriogenology describe the use of frozen skin in 2003 to clone a bucardo, or Pyrenean ibex, a subspecies of Spanish ibex that went extinct in 2000.
Scientists had cloned endangered species before, but not one that had officially died out. Study co-author Jose Folch, of the Center for Agro-Nutrition Research and Technology in Aragon, Spain, said his team plans to try cloning another this ibex this year or next.

I may be wrong but about 2 years ago I believe they were cloning a wooly mammoth they found frozen and intact. I never heard anymore about it but it was a mini series called something like raising the mammoth. The last I heard they were cloning it using a regular elephant. I may be wrong and if so I am sorry

Or in case the ufologists are right and they got dead aliens, clone a few of those to study their physics.
But offcause thats as far out as the Jurasic park idea....we need to start with smaller projects to learn and enhance the technology.
Discovery channel made a program about the wolly babymammoth they found in Siberia (maybe someone can imbed it in tread?).edit on 5-8-2011 by Mimir because: (no reason given)
