I am surprised that it wasn’t freezer burned.

There was an episode of ‘Northern Exposure’ where the town Doctor found one fully intact and thought he had a gold mine on his hands, but one f the natives cut it up and ate it before he had a chance to sell it.

I missed that episode, Jim. I don't know much about the physics of freezer burn, but if it was cold enough, and insulated by all that wooly stuff, maybe it survived without freezer burn.

Of course, the next specimen they find like that, they'll probably pull the DNA and author a resurgent species of Mammoth.
