In 2010, after the strong thaw in some areas of Siberia, Russia, a beautiful woolly mammoth calf weighing one ton was discovered. After 39,000 years in the ice, the calf was in perfect condition and still had its fur and muscle tissue intact. Thanks to the, Russian scientists, for the first time in history, we managed to take blood samples from a prehistoric animal.
According to research, the mammoth's death occurred while crossing the swamp, and due to the low temperatures and surrounding ice, the body remained in perfect condition.
Scientists and researchers from South Korea have suggested that thanks to the DNA samples obtained from Yuka's body, they could clone this extinct species in the future, giving life again to one of the great mammals in history.
Yuka was not the first mammoth found, in 1977 an excavator accidentally found the co**se of a small mammoth but unfortunately it was not well preserved.
