Researchers in Yakutia, Russia, have unveiled the remarkably well-preserved remains of a baby mammoth, named 'Yana', estimated to be over 50,000 years old. This discovery, made during the summer of 2024, is notable as it represents only the sixth mammoth ever found globally and is considered one of the best-preserved specimens to date. Weighing approximately 180 kg and measuring 120 cm in height, the mammoth's remains were discovered in thawing permafrost, which has been melting due to climate change. Scientists are conducting tests on the remains to learn more about this ancient creature, which was likely a juvenile female when it died. The unveiling of Yana's remains has garnered significant attention and interest from the scientific community and the public alike.
