(Reuters) [transcribed through CNN.com] — Scientists unveiled the discovery Wednesday of a baby mammoth found in the permafrost of north-west Siberia.
A reindeer herder found a 10,000-year-old frozen baby mammoth in Russia's Yamal-Nenets autonomous district.
The remains of the six-month-old female mammoth were discovered in a remarkable state of preservation on the Yamal peninsula of Russia in May, a Reuters report said. The specimen is believed to be the best of its kind to date.
A reindeer herder found the frozen animal in May near the Yuribei River, in Russia's Yamal-Nenets autonomous district.
Scientists hope the animal might yield DNA samples that could be used to clone and effectively resurrect the extinct members of the elephant family.
