Not surprising then again that a mammoth preserved in the permafrost will have something on the order of 50 percent of its DNA being mammoth, whereas something like the Columbian mammoth, living in a temperature and buried in a temperate environment over its laying-in will only have 3 to 10 percent endogenous.
Ponovno, nije iznenađujuće da će mamut očuvan u permafrostu imati približno oko 50% svog DNK, dok će nešto poput kolumbijskog mamuta, koji je živio i bio ukopan  u umjerenoj klimi imati samo 3-10 % DNK.
