According to RCO News Agency, quoted by USA Today, this animal was discovered in Batagaika crater, a part of northeastern Russia, probably due to climate change. As the ice melts, researchers can find prehistoric animals such as mammoths and dogs.
The baby mammoth weighing 240 pounds and 120 cm tall is one of the 7 mammoths that have been discovered around the world so far. The researchers of Lazarov Mamort Museum and Northeastern Federal University are studying this baby mammoth.
According to Maxim Cherpasov, head of the Lazarov Mammoth Museum laboratory, this mammoth was a little more than a year old at the time of death, but researchers need to conduct more tests to confirm this. The mentioned mammoth was discovered in a good condition, so that its body parts are completely healthy.
