Young mammoth remains found nearly intact in Siberian permafrost

Quick Summary:

YAKUTSK, Russia : Researchers in Siberia are conducting tests on a juvenile mammoth whose remarkably well-preserved remains were discovered in thawing permafrost after more than 50,000 years.

Here, for example, even though the forelimbs have already been eaten, the head is remarkably well preserved," Cherpasov told Reuters.

He said the mammoth was probably a little over a year old when it died, but tests would enable the scientists to confirm this more accurately.
