How can you clone a woolly mammoth?

A Japanese research organization has been attempting just this for the past decade. It seems that it is not as easy as it might seem. Beside the difficulties with cloning, finding a suitable surrogate is a bit difficult. Mammoths are related to elephants, and apparently elephants do not cross well. Often, elephant crossbreeds result in bleeding and death of the mother. To clone a mammoth, it would be necessary to cross it with its nearest living relation (remember the elephant?) At this rate, even if the infant and mother survived gestation, the result would be only half mammoth. To produce as close to a full mammoth as possible, it would be necessary to produce several mammoth clones, and breed then to reduce the elephant cross from the resultant generations.
