Of all the creatures from the prehistoric era of life on Earth, only one has a living relative that still roams the planet today in a form closely related to the original. The Woolly Mammoth was a massive, hairy elephant with enormous tusks that roamed the cold tundra of Europe, Asia, and North America from about 300,000 years ago up until about 10,000 years ago and differed little from the modern-day Asian elephant.
The existence of frozen soft-tissue remains and the DNA of woolly mammoths has led to the idea that the species could be recreated by scientific means. The Woolly Mammoth revival project is still going strong today, with several methods proposed to achieve this goal, including cloning, artificial insemination, and genome editing.

ABOUT THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT
The Royal Canadian Mint is known as one of the most reputable mints in the world. The Ottawa Branch of the Royal Mint opened in 1908 and was renamed The Royal Canadian Mint in 1931 when control was transferred to the Canadian government. The Royal Canadian Mint is renowned for producing some of the highest quality and purity of gold and silver bullion coins and bars in the world. Their high standards for excellence and quality allowed them to be the first refinery to manufacture 9999 fine gold bullion coins in 1982, as well as the first to reach 99999 fine gold purity in 1999.
