MOSCOW - The well-preserved carcass of a 10,000-year-old baby mammoth has been unearthed in the northern Siberian permafrost, a discovery scientists said could help in climate change studies.
The 4-foot gray-and-brown carcass, discovered in May by a reindeer herder in the Yamal-Nenets region, has its trunk and eyes virtually intact and even some fur remaining, said Alexei Tikhonov, deputy director of the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Zoological Institute.
The animal’s tail and ear were apparently bitten off, he said.

You mean something good comes from global warming, i.e. defrosting permafrost. Its also further evidence that places like Siberia and Greenland will be better off in a few years. Buy your seafront lots now.
