The team was forced to rely on local nomads for help in locating the beast; the natives were the first to locate the mammoth's huge tusks. Fighting the unforgiving climate, the team only had a small window of time in which to work before the Siberian winter would stop them; indeed, they had to return the following year to unearth the gigantic prehistoric animal. Eventually they wound up airlifting out, with an enormous Soviet-era cargo helicopter, a huge block of ice with two tusks sticking out and a mammoth inside. In typically exhaustive Discovery Channel fashion, Raising the Mammoth not only follows the efforts of the determined archaeologists, but discusses the history and evolution of the mammoth, theories about the species' demise, and the possibilities of using mammoth DNA to produce clones with today's technology (shades of Jurassic Park). It's a fascinating look at what had to be an enormous struggle, one that paid off in terms of scientific knowledge and archaeological significance. --Jerry Renshaw Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Discovery Does It Again A great, wonderful, awe-inspiring documentary about the recovery of a full mammoth carcass in the Siberian tundra. Do I really have to say any more? Most documentaries don't get this involved or exciting. A masterpiece! Along with Land of the Mammoth, this dvd is highly recommended. Rating: - Oh, it's so great!!! It was REALLY cool when a whole bunch of blizzards came. And finding the mammoth was the coolest part! It's so great I say you should buy it immediately. I can't wait until I get Land of the Mammoth! Rating: - What a disappointment. I now wish that I had read some of the below reviews before I bought this DVD. Raising The Mammoth is an interesting story showing how difficult it was to retrieve the iceblock,but couldn't they have waited until later to actually show us the Mammoth? All we see is some red fur at the top of the Mammoth and the tusks which had already been removed. Apparently,most of the head had already rotted away after being left to the ellements by people retrieving the tusks,but the rest of the ...

The project was completed in one ten-thousandth of the time the creature lay undisturbed; bad weather closed in and caused delays of a year. Partly fascinating, partly annoying, mostly informative but not altogether so, Raising the Mammoth seeks to inspire and awe us and sometimes stretches the point in order to do so. It tries too hard ... Read More Rating: - Archeologist in you? This is a documentary. If you do not like the pace of a documentary, you won't like "Raising the Mammoth". It is NOT a feature film filled with special effects. The basic outline of the film is the inner workings of an archeologist whose dream is fulfilled in the frigid arctic as he battles the elements to 'raise' a Mammoth. The film is very 'real' about the human condition and our struggles to do extraordinary things, like chipping a prehistoric elephant out from 15 feet of solid, arctic ice. This ...
