問題詳情

It began as just an ordinary day for Yevgeny Salinder. The 11-year-old boy was taking a walk near his home incentral Russia when suddenly the extraordinary happened. Yevgeny found animal limbs sticking out of the frozenground. The boy told his parents, who immediately contacted scientists. When experts began digging out the buriedcreature, they discovered it was a 30,000-year-old woolly mammoth. Scientists say it is one of the greatest woollymammoth discoveries in more than a century.The mammoth has been named Jenya, which is a nickname for the discoverer’s Russian name, Yevgeny.Scientists say Jenya died at the age of 16. He is 6 feet 6 inches tall, and weighs 1,100 pounds. Since some mammothsmay have been as tall as 13 feet, scientists are taking note of Jenya’s size. “He was pretty small for his age,” saysProfessor Alexei Tikhonov of the Zoology Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia. What is also unusual about thismammoth is his missing left tusk. The loss of a tusk would have made fighting difficult for Jenya. Experts think acrack in his remaining tusk means that the mammoth may have been hunted by humans.The well-preserved state of Jenya is what makes this discovery especially extraordinary. Much of the carcassstill has scraps of flesh, fur and organs intact. The mammoth also has a massive hump of fat on his back. The fathelped mammoths keep warm during the frigid Arctic winters. The condition of Jenya’s body will allow scientists andexperts to learn more about woolly mammoths. With enough information, one day it may be possible to recreate thisprehistoric wonder.
