42,000 year old Wooly mammoth carcass from Siberia

1. Lyuba is a baby mammoth that has been preserved in the permafrost for thousands upon thousands of years. Found by reindeer herders the mammoth has been perfectly preserved. Scientists have been able to confirm their theories on mammoth diet and other properties because its insides and tissue have all been untouched.
2. I think this is pretty sweet. I always love discoveries and it'd be awesome if scientists could learn more from this one.
