The carcass of Yana, a 50,000-year-old baby mammoth, was discovered in Russia's Batagaika crater in Siberia. This area, known as the "gateway to the underworld," has been exposed due to melting permafrost caused by global warming. Such discoveries are rare, with only seven mammoth carcasses recovered worldwide, making Yana's find an exceptional contribution to understanding Pleistocene-era fauna and climate conditions. The permafrost also preserves other ancient animal remains, highlighting its significance in studying Earth's prehistoric life and climate change.
