30,000-year-old mammoth mummy found in Canada

June 28, 2022

In the permafrost of the Canadian Yukon, miners found a mummified woolly mammoth. He died about 30 thousand years ago - probably moved away from his mother and got stuck in the mud. The baby mammoth was named Noon Cho Ga - "big baby" in the Yukon indigenous language. The entrails, hair and nails of the animal are well preserved - this is the first find of this level in North America.
