A female wooly mammoth that died about 30,000 years ago was found in the Yukon in 2022. The baby was only 30 or 35 days old and ended up wholly preserved with some skin and hair. Scientists will extract DNA to compare to that of elephants.
She was found in the Klondike gold fields within Trʼondëk Hwëchʼin Traditional Territory. While excavating through the permafrost, miners working on Eureka Creek uncovered the frozen woolly mammoth. This is a significant discovery for Trʼondëk Hwëchʼin and the Government of Yukon. Trʼondëk Hwëchʼin Elders named the mammoth calf Nun Cho Ga, meaning “big animal baby” in the Hän language, Yukon reported.
The Yukon has a world-renowned fossil record of ice age animals, but mummified remains with skin and hair are rarely unearthed. Nun Cho Ga is the most complete mummified mammoth found in North America.
They were grazing animals and went extinct about 4,000 years ago.
Woolly mammoths roamed parts of Earth’s northern hemisphere for at least half a million years. They were still in their heyday 20,000 years ago, but within 10,000 years, they were reduced to isolated populations off the coasts of Siberia and Alaska.
One widely accepted theory is that fire and the development of tools, such as spears, hooks, and nets, helped humans become ace hunters, driving woolly mammoths, ground sloths, rhinoceros*, and other mammals into extinction.
The last population known from fossils remained on Wrangel Island in the Arctic Ocean until 4,000 years ago, well into the start of human civilization and concurrent with the construction of the Great Pyramid of ancient Egypt.
Watch:
*There are only two species of rhinoceros left in the world: the white rhinoceros and the black rhinoceros. However, there used to be many more species of rhinoceros. Some extinct species include the woolly rhinoceros, the Indian rhinoceros, and the Javan rhinoceros. The woolly rhinoceros was the most common rhinoceros in Europe during the Ice Age. A lot of Rhinos are in danger now.
I’m just wondering how anyone knows that this animal is a female. Hmmm?
They obviously are not a “liberal” US Supreme Court Judge. Only Conservatives can tell gender; “liberals” are too stupid.
THATS FAT FANI’S TWIN SISTER THAT DIED AT BIRTH
Another sleeping Republican.
Eff you , you miserable democrat troll
you will be sky screaming before you know it kid.
How can the writer, M. Dowling, whoever she is, think that the rhinoceros is extinct? Seems like something I’d look up if I were uncertain. Maybe she meant Joe Biden.
Your have attacked the integrity of M. Dowling. You say she should have down more research. Look in the mirror, Your research, if you did any, was a failure. She is real an se is special.
Masters Degree for me. But, we are never taught the truth, only what is accepted science / allowed at the time. There is no truth, only interpretation. Sad really, how everything is corrupted by power, politics or religion. Egypt is approximately 6000 years old – the oldest known civilization (maybe Mesopotamia 8000 years) The last great flood occurred during the… Read more »
I think we should ask Immanuel Velikovsky. Fortunately he was able to get his books into print but, as always, the “scientists” tried to stop any original ideas from escaping. “Worlds in Collision” – Immanual Velikovsky
The first 5 books of the Bible are called the Pentateuch or the Torah. The earth appears older than the Bible states because of, what is called, the mature-age process. God created everything in a mature state so that it could sustain life. He created full-grown plants, trees with fruit, animals, fish, humans. He did not create the sun and… Read more »
It looks exactly like a very small elephant
Well, because that is what it is.
It looks a little like Joe Bribem.
