Canadian woolly mammoth mummified: Key Information

The animal, which is thought to be female, would have perished more than 30,000 years ago, when woolly mammoths roamed this area, during the Ice Age.

 The find also marks the first almost entirely preserved and best-preserved woolly mammoth discovered in North America.

In 1948, a gold mine in the interior of Alaska yielded the partial remains of a mammoth calf known as Effie.

In 2007, Lyuba, a 42,000-year-old infant woolly mammoth that had been mummified, was discovered in Siberia.

What does the newly discovered mummified woolly mammoth look like?

Experts estimate that the woolly mammoth, which still possesses its skin and hair, was frozen more than 30,000 years ago during the ice period.

When it was living, the woolly mammoth might have shared the Yukon alongside wild horses and cave lions. The discovery was described as "beautiful and one of the most spectacular mummified ice age animals ever discovered in the world" by palaeontologist Dr Grant Zazula.

Dr Zazula stated that the mummified woolly has a trunk, a tail, and small little years in describing the creature. Additionally, she possesses a little prehensile end to her trunk that she may use to grasp grass. She is stunning and flawless.

Woolly Mammoth Information

The woolly mammoth existed during the Pleistocene era and perished during the Holocene.

 Around 8,00,000 years ago in East Asia, the woolly mammoth started to diverge from the steppe mammoth. The Asian Elephant is the creature's nearest living relative.

 They resembled modern African elephants in size.

Due to the discovery of the frozen carcasses in Siberia and Alaska, the look and behaviour of this species have undergone some of the most thorough research of any prehistoric mammal.
