  Even if it works though, at best, it will only create a mix between an elephant and a wooly mammoth. So you can't really say that you revived the ancient wooly mammoth because I'm guessing it won't be nearly as wooly.

  
  
  the Egg would likely have it's DNA already removed from it (which is why theyc all it cloning instead of some kind of breedinging)

  Well, no...... that would be why it's called cloning.
  
  Also, I imagine they could use two different mammoths for genetic diversity for breeding purposes.
