According to foreign media reports, a gold miner was working in the Yukon region of Canada when he accidentally found the remains of a mammoth cub dating back 35,000 years. The naturally mummified mammoth, 140 cm long, died during the Ice Age 35,000 years ago and was frozen in permafrost, and scientists judged it to have died about a month old.
This is a female mammoth cub, and the local aboriginal people name this mammoth "Nun cho ga", which means "big head animal cub". The mammoth carcass, with its toenails, skin, fur, trunk and internal organs preserved, is the "most complete" juvenile mammoth found in North America, and the second best-preserved mammoth cub found in humans.
In 2007, the first well-preserved mammoth cub Lyuba was found in the Siberian permafrost of Russia, which is only 130 centimeters long, which is smaller than the one found in Canada and is presumed to have lived 42,000 years ago.
Mammoths have strong cold resistance and are one of the largest mammals that have ever survived on land, with steppe mammoths weighing up to 12 tons. Mammoths first appeared in present-day Siberia, Russia, 700,000 years ago, and gradually wandered to eurasia and the northern part of the American continent. About 4,000 years ago, the last mammoths went extinct.
