YAkutsk, 23 December. (askanews) – An exceptional find, Russian scientists have shown the extraordinarily well-preserved remains of a young mammoth from about 50,000 years ago, found in the permafrost-covered region of Yakutia.
The female mammoth was nicknamed “Yana” after the river basin where she was discovered this summer. Studies will now be conducted to establish his exact age at the time of death, estimated at “a year or so”.
