In all seriousness, this would be fantastic. We brought the hairy cow back from extinction, so why not the hairy elephant? There is plenty of room in Northern Canada...
If I was a billionaire I would personally fund a cloning program for extinct animals so I could charge a million dollars a plate for guests to join me at my Island paradise for an evening of eating long extinct species and genetically engineered new ones.....
Well I'm not into eating weird stuff but if you have burgers and fries I will pay to see your exhibit....but not a million. How does 20 bucs sound?

We would be happy to grind up a couple of lesser bilby's for your burgers and top them with cheese made from the milk of the broad faced Potoroo. Instead of Fries how about some nice slices of Moon and Star Watermelons?

Serious question: when you insert the DNA from one organism into the egg of another, aren't you making a hybrid, as opposed to cloning the original species? Wouldn't this actually result in a mammoth/elephant hybrid, not a true mammoth?

Not really a complete hybrid, since all the nuclear DNA would be mammoth DNA, but presumably the mitochondrial DNA would be elephant. Overall, presuming it works, what you end up with should pretty much be a mammoth.
