Russian scientists and the
South Korean Sooam Biotechnology Research Foundation has announced a major
discovery. Last summer their team found a 42,000-year-old pony in the
permafrost of Siberia, and discovered the blood in the pony is still flowing.
The analysis said that this may be the oldest blood in the world, and it is
even expected to let the extinct animals come back to life. 
At the end of February this year, liquid blood was taken from its heart vessels. According to the autopsy report, the internal organs of the foal are well preserved, and the head, limbs, and bristles are intact. Since the permafrost provides good burial conditions, the foal not only retains bright red muscle tissue but even the bladder. Also, keep urine.
In this regard, Dr. Xie Miao Grigoryev, director of the
Yakut Mammoth Museum, said: "The pony is the most well preserved in the
ice age animals that have been discovered so far, and is also large
paleontology. Leap forward." The research team speculated that the pony
died of drowning shortly after birth, and then the water thawed to form permafrost,
which happened to preserve its remains. It is a pity that the digestive tract
of the foal is blocked by a large amount of mud and it is impossible to find
the mother's milk.
According to the report, scientists are currently trying to
analyze the blood of the pony, extract and culture the cells in the automatic
tissue, and use the "Korean horse" as the "proxy mother" to
try to "copy" the pony. Although the trial ended in failure for more
than 20 times, the research team is full of confidence in “replicating” the
pony, saying that it will not only continue to try but will even copy the
extinct mammoth through the genetic material of the permafrost zone. The study
is expected to go to the end of April.
