Discovery of the Mammoth
 
iscovery Of The Mammoth

The first complete specimen of a frozen mammoth was unearthed in Siberia in 1806. In 1999 scientists working in Siberia recovered the complete remains of a wooly mammoth embedded in frozen mud containing plants and insects that lived 20,000 years ago. The scientists transported the specimen to an ice cave 200 miles away to slowly thaw their find and perform tests on the remains to identify the reason the animal died. This is the first time that an entire mummified wooly mammoth has been recovered without defrosting first. The new method of excavation means scientists, who are keen to find DNA from the mammoth, may be able to someday clone the creature. In theory, a mammoth sperm's and an elephant's egg could produce an animal closely resembling a mammoth.
