BABY MAMMOTH'S LIFE REVEALED
This month-old mammoth, Lyuba, died 40,000 years ago. Scientists discovered her well-preserved body in the Russian Arctic two yearsago. A recent CT scan showed Lyuba was healthy and well-fed unlike previously found baby mammoths; there were traces of faeces, probablyof her mother, and milk in her intestine. There was also a fat hump on the back of her neck which helped infant calves to stay warm. Further analyses would reveal what caused the Ice Age mammals to die hunting or climate change.
