BC says she’s a hottie. No ice necessary, neither.

I wish they would clone a couple already. I am expecting to see a full grown wolly mammoth in my lifetime.

The mammoth was uncovered in the northern part of western Siberia in May after a reindeer herder found part of its ivory near the Yuribey River. Estimated to weigh 50 kilograms and be 120 centimeters in height, it has been named "Lyuba" after the herder's wife.
Many American women wouldn't take too well to having their name applied to an animal resembling an elephant.

Maybe they'll find it in her trunk.

Yes, mammoths were furred elephants. I can see an elephant cow carrying a cloned mammoth to term.

What kind of event must have occurred for the mammoth to be
preserved like that? Did it fall into an ice cave, or was
it buried in an avalanche? What were mammoths doing around
ice anyway?? Was there a rapid weather change in a previously
warm environment? Had to be very rapid, no?
Very interesting.

Well, it is dead. But it’s not in the middle of the road.

Actually, There were SUV tracks nearby, causing Global warming which caused melting on the ice sheet and the Mammoth broke through. We should find some of them also under the ice.
