Rare Mummified Woolly Mammoth Perfectly Preserved with Skin and Hair Discovered By Palaeontologists in Canadian Gold Mine; See Pics
In an extremely rare discovery, a mummified baby woolly mammoth, still covered in skin and hair, was found in Canada's gold mine. The female mammoth is estimated to have been frozen during the Ice Age, over 30,000 years ago.
Miners working in the Klondike gold fields have discovered the frozen mummified remains of a near-complete baby woolly mammoth. Members of the local Tr'ondek Hwech'in First Nation named the calf Nun Cho ga, which translates to 'big baby animal', according to the Yukon government. Photos of the rare find were shared on Twitter by Professor Dan Shugar. The female animal would have died during the ice age, i.e. more than 30,000 years ago. 14,000-Year-Old Puppy Found a Decade Ago in Russia Ate a Wolly Rhinoceros as Last Meal! (View Pics).
