Woolly Mammoth

A baby woolly mammoth which spent 40,000 years frozen in the Siberian permafrost, has provided scientists with clues about how the species survived during the Ice. Age"Lyuba" was sucked to her death in a muddy river bed. She was so well preserved that traces of her mother's milk remained in her belly when she was discovered three years ago by nomadic reindeer herders. Lyuba who was about a month old when she died has already taught researchers much about mammoths that they had been unable to gain from fossils. They have learned so much just from this baby that they expect to have the knowledge to be able to clone these incredible animals by the year 2015
