Here's a summary of what happened:

in 2010 scientists made an amazing discovery! a beautiful baby woolly mammoth was found frozen in russia after the ground thawed a bit. the calf was named yuka. she was only 39,000 years old but perfectly preserved with fur and muscles!

the russian scientists were able to take blood from yuka. this had never been done before with an extinct animal. they studied how yuka died. it seems she got stuck in a swamp and the cold froze her body before it could rot.

some kind researchers from south korea saw yuka's dna as an opportunity. they think maybe someday soon they can use yuka's dna to bring mammoths back to life! it would be so cool to see these big fuzzy elephants again.

yuka wasn't the only mammoth found. in 1977 a machine accidentally dug up a small mammoth too. but it wasn't as well kept as yuka.
