About 38,000-years old, and in surprisingly good shape, the carcass of a woolly mammoth has gone on display in Moscow.<br /><br />Scientists, who found the teenage female mammoth in 2010 in Russia’s far north region of Yakutia, named it Yuka. <br /><br />“Mammoth Yuka was a teenager, she was from six to nine years. She was very well preserved, even the brain was preserved,” said Vladimir Potapov, coordinator of the exhibition.<br /><br />Albert Protopopov, a mammoth expert from the Yakutia Academy of Sciences, said Yuka’s carcass bore traces indicating that humans hunted for mammoths during the Ice Age.<br /><br />Wooly mammoths are thought to have died out around 10,000 years ago, although scientists think small groups of them lived longer in Alaska and on islands off Siberia.<br />No Comment | euronews: watch the international news without commentary | http://www.euronews.net/nocomment/
