Mammoth found frozen in Russia after 30,000 years

Scientists hail the discovery of the remains of a 30,000-year-old frozen mammoth, found by an 11-year-old boy in northern Russia. It took a week to excavate the animal using a steamer to thaw the permafrost. Scientists hope the discovery may help them find an answer to why the extinct beasts were hunch-backed (via guardian.co.uk)
