Amazing Discoveries Found Trapped In Ice

Mammoth Brains. Mmmm

Until today, this is actually one of the only preserved species of the mammoth to be found with an intact brain. It’s around 39,000 years old, which makes it even more remarkable. This mammoth was also a child of around six to nine years old.
