CANADA IS ECSTATIC AFTER DISCOVERING A FROZEN BABY MAMMOTH IN YUKON

  • 26/06/2022

The finding of a full infant woolly mammoth frozen in the permafrost of northwestern Canada is the first of its kind in North America.

The mummified ice era mammoth is estimated to be over 30,000 years old. On Tuesday, gold miners in Yukon's Klondike region discovered it.

The Tr'ondek Hwech'in First Nation owns the land where the discovery was made.

The Yukon government compared it to Russia's 2007 discovery of a baby mammoth in Siberian permafrost.

It was described as "the most complete mummified mammoth unearthed in North America," and the world's second such find.
