  • The remains of a baby mammoth dating back 50,000 years have been unveiled in Siberia, described as the best-preserved specimen ever found.
  • The mammoth, nicknamed Yana, was a female weighing over 100 kg (220 lbs) and stood 120 cm (47 inches) tall.
  • Yana is believed to have been one year old at the time of her death, making her one of only seven known recovered mammoth carcasses globally.
  • Her remains were discovered in the Batagaika crater, known for yielding other ancient animal remains as a result of melting permafrost.
  • Researchers at Russia’s North-Eastern Federal University will study Yana to gain insights into the lifestyle and adaptation of mammoths.
