\"42,000-Year-Old<\/figure>\n\n\n

Researchers have discovered liquid blood in a foal<\/b> dating back over 42,000 years, sparking excitement among scientists interested in cloning extinct animals<\/b>. In fact, Russian scientists managed to extract the vital fluid from the ancient horse, which was frozen in Permafrost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfectly Preserved Foal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"42,000-Year-Old<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This discovery took place in 2018 and is the second in the history<\/strong> of paleontology in which liquid blood could be obtained. The first case was recorded in 2013 when a team of scientists found the half of an adult female mammoth’s<\/a> corpse that also contained liquid blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The foal, which was only a few weeks old<\/strong>, was found in August 2018 trapped in Permafrost<\/a> at a depth of 30 meters in the Batagaika Depress<\/a>i<\/a>on<\/a> in Eastern Siberia. The preservation was due to the permafrost, which kept the horse’s body nearly intact, with preserved skin, fur, muscle tissues, and well-preserved organs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This level of preservation is extremely rare<\/strong> in paleontological findings, as many specimens are often incomplete, fragmented, or poorly preserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The horse belongs to the Lenskaya breed<\/strong>, native to the Yakutia region where the fossil<\/a> was found, but it is currently extinct. Scientists took samples of liquid blood from the preserved heart tissue of the animal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possible Cloning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"42,000-Year-Old<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A team of researchers from the Northeast Federal University of Yakutsk and the Sooam Biotech Research Foundation<\/a> in South Korea is working on the extraction and cultivation of cells from the foal with the goal of cloning it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although they have made more than 20 attempts in two months, they have not yet achieved successful cloning. Semyon Grigoryev<\/a>, the director of the Mammoth Museum at the University, remains hopeful but admits that cloning remains a challenging endeavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same team is currently working on replicating cells<\/strong> from a woolly mammoth found in Siberia in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the research on the horse is completed, scheduled for June, the specimen will be transported to Japan to be included in a one-year exhibition alongside other samples of extinct animals<\/strong>, such as a woolly mammoth, an ancient partridge, and a Siberian bison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s astounding how nature can conspire to preserve a foal from thousands of years ago in such a way that its blood remains liquid. Now, we can only wait and see if science is advanced enough to bring it back to life once more.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
