Freeze Frame Ice Baby


Yesterday afternoon after school I went home , and when I went inside and I said "Hi dad what are you reading?'' then he replied back ''I'm just reading about the dinosaur elephant they found''. Then I said ''can I please have a read" then he said ''sure'' so then while I was reading it, it had some interesting thing's in there. Here are some of the things in in the story

The body was 37,000 years old, that was really old. It also said the mammoth was found in the Arctic Tundra revealing new insight's about the extinct ice age beasts. They also said that the beast was also perfectly preserved. It looked like the baby mammoth was asleep only for a moment. For 37,000 years she was locked hard into a rock.

Lot's of brown hair still clung to the 1m tall body.
Paleontologists have spent two year's since the body was discovered in painstaking research. They believe the information they have gleaned will help them understand more about the wolly mammoths.
