Deep freeze: this mammoth calf, standing 4ft 3in tall and weighing
110lb (7st 8lb), still had some tufts of her woolly coat attached when she was
unearthed in Siberia
People have found a fantastically preserved baby Woolly Mammoth. What surprised me was the reference to Wrangel Island. I had always thought that Mammoths died out 10,000 years ago, but they were alive as recently as 2000 b.c., or 1700 if you believe the Wiki reference.
