Science may just have brought us one step closer to a real-life Jurassic Park.
- Researchers have successfully sequenced DNA from a 1-million-year-old mammoth - the oldest creature yet and roughly 500,000 years older than the previous record.
- The DNA was taken from three mammoth teeth excavated in Siberia over 50 years ago - and revealed they belonged to a previously unknown type of mammoth.
- But don't buy your Jurassic Park tickets just yet - scientists think they're near the limit of how old a creature can be with fully preserved DNA.
- Do you think science will ever be able to bring back an extinct species? What prehistoric creature would you most like to see in person?
