Russian scientists have recovered the almost complete remains of a woolly mammoth in Russia. The remains of the Siberian mammoth are so well preserved that they still have flesh and hair. These remains are up to 10,000 years old and could play an important role in the international race to recreate prehistoric animals in laboratories. The remains of a prehistoric creature were found not far from the village of Seyakha. The find was first discovered by members of a local indigenous community at Lake Pechenelava on the Yamal Peninsula. Siberia has been unusually warm this summer with massive forest fires raging in many areas of this remote and vast region. However, the warm weather also allowed the remains of the Siberian mammoth to be freed from the permafrost.
