Woolly Mammoth Could Potentially Be Resurrected In 4 Years

With recent breakthroughs in cloning technology, scientist, Dr. Teruhiko Wakayama, Akira Iritani a professor at Kyoto University is trying to restart his campaign to clone a mammoth. The plan is to extract nuclei from a Woolly mammoth's frozen muscle tissue, and plant it in egg cells of a African elephant. By doing this the African elephant will become the surrogate mother of the Woolly mammoth. Woolly mammoths died out about 12,000 years ago, but this scientific advancement can bring us closer to this extinct beast.

China's New Jet

Well, China's J-20 stealth fighter plane isn't so 'secret' anymore. Although there is so speculation as to what role the jet will play within the Chinese military, it is known that the J-20 is very advanced. It is most closely associated with, or compared rather, to the U.S F-22. The F-22 is a highly maneuverable aircraft capable of speeds of Mach 1.8, or 1369.8 miles per hour! 

 
However, the J-20 isn't planned to be introduced until about 2017, several years from now. China is capable of designing new weapons and aircrafts with the help of it's booming economy. Recently the U.S announced plans to introduce the F-35, a new jet that could potentially replace the F-22. All in all, the 3 jets are very advanced fighting machines.
