Remains of a baby mammoth were discovered in the permafrost of northwest Siberia, adding to some scientistsâ hope of resurrecting the species, the BBC reported. The 6-month-old female calf was on the Yamal peninsula and is thought to have died 10,000 years ago. Scientists have said it could be the best preserved specimen of its type.
