(Reuters) -- Scientists unveiled the discovery Wednesday of a baby mammoth found in the permafrost of north-west Siberia.
A reindeer herder found a 10,000-year-old frozen baby mammoth in Russia's Yamal-Nenets autonomous district.
The remains of the six-month-old female mammoth were discovered in a remarkable state of preservation on the Yamal peninsula of Russia in May, a Reuters report said. The specimen is believed to be the best of its kind to date.
