Because this worked so well in Jurassic Park.

Which I must now watch since I've mentioned it.

But really? Sure, let us resurrect a long extinct species that was alive during an ice age into the present age of even more global warming and radical climate change since that had absolutely no factor on that species extinction in the first place.

In 2008, they succeeded in this exact cloning procedure with mice, so this isn't even going to be done in a "lets see if we can do it way." They already know they can.

I just figure they can spend their time bringing back some animal that more recently went extinct.
