This handout picture taken and released by the North-Eastern Federal University on December 23, 2024, shows the carcass of a baby mammoth, which is estimated to be over 50,000 years old, during its presentation in Yakutsk. Russian scientists on December 23, 2024 showed off the remarkably well preserved remains of a baby mammoth found in the permafrost-covered region of Yakutia. The 50,000-year-old female mammoth has been nicknamed "Yana" after the river in whose basin it was discovered this summer. The remains weigh 180 kilograms (397 pounds) and are 120 centimetres (four feet) tall and 200 centimetres long. The carcass was dug up near the Batagaika research station where the remains of other prehistoric animals -- a horse, a bison and a lemming -- have also been found.
