Mammoths and Mastodons

In 2007 ten year old Kostia discovered the frozen body of a baby mammoth in northern Siberia. It was the first time that anyone had ever found such a complete and well preserved mammoth and it was very exciting. The baby mammoth nicknamed Lyuba had died over 40,000 years ago, yet you could still see the wrinkles on her skin and the taste buds dotted along her tongue. Her eyeballs rested in their sockets, and her internal organs had retained nearly all their original shapes. Scientists hope by studying her they will learn lots of secrets from her past. So take a walk into the ice age and check out Mammoths and Mastodons to learn more about Lyuba and others of her kind!
