Scientists said the frozen carcass of a 10,000-year-old baby mammoth has been unearthed in a remote northern Siberian region, a discovery they said could help studies of climate change. The 4-foot, gray-and-brown carcass, discovered in May by a reindeer herder in the Yamal-Nenets region, has its trunk and eyes virtually intact and even some fur remaining, said Alexei Tikhonov, deputy director of the Russian Academy of Sciences' Zoological Institute.
