Scientists in search of ancient tusks made a startling discovery. They uncovered the nearly perfectly preserved remains of a woolly mammoth in northern Siberia.
The juvenile mammoth is believed to be more than 10,000 years old, but was only 3 to 4 years old when it died. It is unlike any other mammoth that has been unearthed before.
The scientists reveal their discovery, which they named "Yuka," in a BBC documentary. Yuka has strawberry blond hair, unlike the dark hair that other mammoths have been found to have.
Plus, Yuka's footpads are incredibly well preserved, but some of his bones are missing.

This is a very nice find. I hope they keep it in a freezer. I can see some of these so called scientists now a days defrosting it for some stupid reason.
