Biotech company Colossal Biosciences is genetically engineering living animals with qualities to resemble extinct species like the woolly mammoth.
Woolly mammoths roamed the frozen tundras of Europe , Asia and North America until they went extinct around 4,000 years ago .
Outside scientists have mixed views about whether this strategy will be helpful for conservation.
Independent experts are skeptical about the idea of "de-extinction".
