Siberian Permafrost Reveals Well-Preserved 50,000-Year-Old Baby Mammoth Remains

The articles describe the discovery of a remarkably well-preserved mammoth carcass in the Batagaika crater, estimated to be around 50,000 years old. The female mammoth, nicknamed Yana, was found in the summer and is considered the best-preserved in the world. It is one of only seven whole remains ever found, with six other similar discoveries reported globally. The carcass was recovered from the permafrost and was brought to the surface on an improvised stretcher. Yana is believed to have been only one-year-old when she died. The discovery was exhibited at North-Eastern Federal University in Yakutsk, the regional capital.
