A baby mammoth that lay almost perfectly preserved for 50,000 years in the now-melting permafrost of eastern Siberia has been unveiled by a team of scientists. The carcass of the baby mammoth, dubbed “Yana” after the Yana River basin where it was found in eastern Siberia, Russia, was unveiled by researchers on Monday. It was only the seventh baby mammoth carcass discovered globally — six in Russia and one in Canada. The mammoth is 4 feet tall, weighs about 400 pounds and is less than 6.6 feet long, according to the press release.

CNN —Russian scientists presented the carcass of a baby mammoth, whose incredibly well-preserved remains were found in the Siberian region of Yakutia in June after more than 50,000 years. The carcass of the female juvenile mammoth, nicknamed Yana, was discovered by local residents after a permafrost crater expanded, according to Russian state media outlet TASS. According to Cheprasov, the baby mammoth was about one-year-old when it died and weighed around 397 pounds [180 kilograms].
