Is it possible?

Yes, you can get a vector file to look like the gif. But no, it will not have the infinitely-scalable properties that a built-for-vector graphic inherently has. You may have to have the graphic redrawn as vector from scratch.

Tis what I would do anyway...

hop hop hop

That s all I can do .... clean it

solution one : clean it the best as I can

solution number two : redraw it in a higher resolution.

Best I could think was to use Live Trace

Thanks!

I'm with cheeks on this.

Converting that and keeping the same quality pic can't be done, even if using the live trace option and it would have to be redrawn from scratch, though there isn't really enough detail visible to redraw that pic.

Sometimes you just have to use what you have in front of you though. Given a choice we'd all have super high res stuff to work from.

Anyone can trace through software a bitmap, but to get a vector that can work for you means the creator of the graphic should be made aware and included in it's inception. I kind of see that those forms at the bottom are either dolphins or whales, but after they've been traced it's hard to tell.

Concept amounts to more than making available high definition objects to be modified by Photoshop fiends.
