Hi...

I would like to know if there are experiments showing if animals survive or not survive after been criopreservated, specially mammals animals.

No mammals can revive from cryopreservation using current technology. But that's not what cryonics claims. The idea of cryonics is that cryopreservation (especially vitrification) is now good enough to preserve the brain well enough so that foreseeable nanotechnology could restore a healthy state. That's why Ralph Merkle, a nanotechnology expert, is speaking on the subject.
