About this listen

 In a groundbreaking discovery, Russian scientists have unearthed the remarkably preserved remains of a 50,000-year-old woolly mammoth calf in the permafrost of Yakutia, Siberia. Found during the summer, this find is being hailed as the most intact woolly mammoth specimen ever uncovered.
Nicknamed Yana after the nearby river where it was discovered, the young mammoth weighed over 100 kg, stood 120 cm tall, and measured 200 cm in length. Scientists estimate that Yana was only about one year old when it died. This exceptional discovery joins a small group of just six similar finds worldwide, with five in Russia and one in Canada.
