Have you heard about this? A Baby Wooly Mammoth's frozen remains were unearthed recently in Siberia. The carcass now, named Lubya, is the best preserved Mammoth remains ever discovered and will hopefully give researchers tons of useful informations about the existance and inevitable exitinction of these amazing beasts.
Why is this facinating to me? I don't know but it is. Tiny samples of oxygen trapped in the lungs may offer information about the atmosphere when 'Lubya' died. They'll study the internal organs to determine diet. This discovery is being hailed as an 'historic event'.
I think I'm excited because I just watched ICE AGE: THE MELTDOWN over the weekend. Those movies make me chuckle.
