Would it be possible, with today's technology, to clone a woolly mammoth?

They're actively trying:

I do hope, millions of years in the future, the sentient cockroaches of earth have the curiosity to clone the long-extinct humans.

Sure, they will miss the flesh so badly, what a pitty they precipitated mankind extinction...

I'm more interested in mastodons, their smaller, temperate climate cousins. Fits better with our warmer world. And so cute.

They used to range across this whole (North American) continent. I just giggle at thinking the havoc they'd cause let loose in northeastern forests again.
