When Canadian miners dug through the permafrost in the Klondike gold area this week, they discovered a very old mummified mammoth. Researchers believe that the baby, a woolly mammoth, was frozen during the ice age 30,000 years ago, and after a quick examination of the find, the researchers found that it was a female. The baby has been named Nun cho ga which means “big baby animal” in the local indigenous language Hän. Nun cho ga is thanks to the fact that she was mummified a rare find as she has both skin and hair left. See the pictures of the unusual discovery in the player above.
