Yukon TerritorypublicationAccording to the report, on June 21, working miners found permafrost during excavation in the gold mine area of the Klondike region of the Yukon Territory. It is said to be “a baby of a frozen mammoth that is almost completely mummified,” and was named “Nun cho ga,” which means “baby of a big animal” in the Native American language of the region.
The baby mammoth is also believed to be a female, regarding the same size as the 42,000-year-old baby mammoth mummy found in Siberia in 2007.
Geologists who recovered the baby mammoth said they “died in the ice age more than 30,000 years ago and were frozen in permafrost.”
In 1948, a part of a child’s mammoth named “Effie” was found in a gold mine in the interior of Alaska.
