The latest discovery of fossil mammoth

There are unique from the recent discoveries of fossil mammoth in Siberia. besides her body is still preserved intact, ancient animals that live in the ice age has blond hair slightly pink (strawberry blonde).

the name of the juvenile mammoth fossil, discovered in a frozen cliff Siberia, according to the scientists, mammoth provide important insight secret-shaped giant elephant-like animal that has not
known, such as hair and eye color.



Scientists who examined the body mammoth find many mysteries. Body fossils, for example, shows early man allegedly stole the remains of dead dies after lion predation. It is known from injuries consistent
the mammoth's body that allegedly caused the attack humans and lions.

If true, the findings would be the first evidence of an interaction between early humans and the mammoths ever found in the area.

estimated three to four years old when he died and still have a bearing leg and the hair that grows between them. Scientists estimate buried in ice for more than 10 thousand years. Yuka body injury suffered following preserved
in the ice.

Kevin Campbell, professor of environmental physiology and evolution at the University of Manitoba, Canada, said the most striking thing about mammoth is a strawberry-blond hair.

Mammoth previously had darker hair. There was a possibility of mammoth hair a lighter color in 2006 when the scientists analyzed the genes of the bones, "said Campbell.



He said,
mammoth fossils would help experts determine the variation eye color and hair among populations of mammoths.?
Daniel Fisher, professor of earth and environmental sciences at the University of Michigan, USA, said there was dramatic evidence of a life and death struggle between mammoth and some predators peak. "Even more interesting, there is evidence that early humans may
mammoth murders took over, "he said.

First discovered ivory hunters in Siberia. Fossils are then taken acquired by the organization Mammuthus, allowing experts to began to analyze it. Intention generate Mammoth Campbell also publishes a giant elephant hemoglobin genetic code a few years ago.

"Very rare to find specimens that are complete? Such as the discovery of a baby mammoth Lyuba in 2007. Surely this? Would be a boon for researchers, as this will help them connect? Morphological characteristics that we can see with the genotype (DNA sequence). '

Such information could help reveal whether the mammoth had all of the same color hair as humans.?

 

In fact, they say there was no intention to resurrect the mammoth through cloning processes.
?
Campbell himself seems to favor? Goal, saying "maybe we can make important new discoveries in biotechnology."?
Bernard Buigues of the scientific organization "Mammuthus"? also revealed, "I will not oppose if there will be a mammoth who live in (a) the future of the park."
Tim Walker, producer and director of a show at the BBC told Discovery News that cloning a mammoth could take many years.

Then, if it happens, if later mammoth that life is not lonely?
"Yeah, it's mammoth communal animals," said Walker.
Well, the later Jurassic Park is going to be true, then?
