Woolly mammoths could return as scientists build artificial wombs for extinct species

Some extinct embryos may grow in artificial wombs

Researchers are pushing de-extinction beyond headlines, aiming to bring back species such as woolly mammoths and bluebuck. The plan doesn’t stop at cloning or genetics: scientists want to rewild these animals in habitats where they once lived. For species that cannot be carried by living relatives, the work also includes developing artificial womb technology to support embryo growth.
