The environment and even behavioral cues are unknown to us, and we'll probably find a "resurrected" extinct cloned specimen to undergo extreme stress and expire prematurely as we try to discover, probe and improve what we're missing.
The first viable, born clones of an old species are slated for a rather poor quality of life before we understand enough of their requirements other than "Get DNA, try to birth organism."
Then again, knowing humans and their predilection for showing off, I expect the very first "extinct" cloned animals will be shown off in hopes of getting more funding.
True, but once we got the DNA to grow one, we could simply re-clone it as many times as it took to get right, correct? Please? I wanna see a woolly mammoth. 
What falls away is always, and is near.
Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD

Satan planted that seed 30000 years ago. 
Satan always seems to be one step ahead of god.
That makes god something of a putz.

Now, if only we can prevent the species we already have from going the way of the Dodo bird. Just sayin...

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!

Am I the only one whose first thought was "Russia was industrial 30.000 years ago?"
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

I've said it before ...
You could have semi trailer full of frozen dinosaurs complete with skin and hair, or the documented dead corpse of jesus christ himself strapped to your back and it wouldn't matter one god damn bit.
Fundie fucktards are going to ignore it all, see what they want to see and Lucifer will end up getting as much credit as their incompetent god will.
