Russian Reindeer Herder Discovers Baby Mammoth in Arctic
Edited on Fri Aug-19-11 03:19 PM by RebelOne
A man herding reindeer in Russia's Arctic found the perfectly-preserved, 40,000-year-old body of a baby woolly mammoth.

The creature's carcass was sticking up out of the permafrost, local officials said. The discovery came in the same area a mammoth calf dubbed Lyuba was found four years ago, authorities told Reuters. They are sending out an expedition to examine the find and possibly recover it.

"If it is true what is said about how it is preserved, this will be another sensation of global significance," expedition leader Natalia Fyodorova said in a statement on the Arctic Yamalo-Nenetsk region's website.

OK, so the earth is only 6,000 years old. Let's see the creationists dispute this. But of course, read some of the idiotic explanations in the comments section. I cannot believe there are so many ignorant people.

6. So how much ice had to melt off before this could be found?
Let's see the climate change deniers (who are mostly the same people who say the world is only 6,000 years old) respond.

7. So, when will we be seeing mammoths
at the zoo, then? I'd definitely go to see a mammoth, regardless of whether it was a truly mammoth mammoth or a smaller sort of mammoth, less mammoth in size.
