The Russian Geographic Society displayed the preserved body of a baby mammoth in Moscow on Tuesday, four years after finding it in Siberian permafrost.
Researchers call the mammoth, named Yuka after the Yukagir coastline where she was found, the best-preserved mammoth in the history of paleontology. It is believed that the permafrost in which she was buried kept her so well intact.
