Frozen baby mammoth discovered in Yukon excites Canada
June 25, 2022
A whole baby woolly mammoth has been found frozen in the permafrost of north-western Canada - the first such discovery in North America.
The mummified ice age mammoth is thought to be more than 30,000 years old. It was found by gold miners in Yukon's Klondike region on Tuesday.
The area of the find belongs to the Tr'ondek Hwech'in First Nation.
The Yukon government compared it to Russia's discovery of a baby mammoth in the permafrost of Siberia in 2007.
