A perfectly preserved woolly mammoth found by scientists back in 2010 has now been put on display in the capital city of Russia. Science geeks everywhere line up to see first-hand a proof of prehistoric times, witnessing the woolly mammoth found in the northern part of Russia four years ago.

The woolly mammoth found in 2010 had been on display in Japan and Taiwan, and has now reached Russia again, the country that first saw its discovery. Back in 2010, scientists from the far northern Yakutia region of Russia found the specimen, which was thought to have died around 40,000 years ago, according to Fox News.

Once the woolly mammoth was found, scientists decided to call it "Yuka" in honor of the region it had been found in. It was in very good shape, particularly considering it was around 38,000 years old, and it was thought to have been in its teenage years, as the scientists calculated that the specimen was between 6 and 9 years old at the time of its death.

It was pulled out of the ice in great conditions - its red fur and soft tissues were very well preserved, and even most of its brain was intact, which provided scientists with a rare opportunity to further study how this species' brain worked

According to CP24, the carcass of Yuka bore traces that humans had hunted mammoths during the Ice Age, as the specimen showed proof of having gone through an earlier encounter with a predator.

The woolly mammoth found in Russia and now on display in Moscow wasn't among the youngest ones, as the species is thought to have died out about 10,000 years ago. However, due to the extreme weather conditions in places such as Alaska and Siberia, scientists think that some woolly mammoths managed to survive for longer in these areas.
