A gold miner in Canada discovered a near complete mummified baby woolly mammoth Tuesday, according to the Yukon government and Trʼondëk Hwëchʼin, a local traditional territory. The female baby was named Nun cho ga, which means "big baby animal" in the Hän language.

The miner found the baby, which retained its skin and hair, while excavating through the permafrost at Eureka Creek in the Klondike gold fields within Trʼondëk Hwëchʼin Traditional Territory, the government's press release said.

She's estimated to have frozen during the Ice Age, over 30,000 years ago. While alive, she likely roamed the Yukon with wild horses, cave lions and giant steppe bison.

"The discovery of Nun cho ga marks the first near complete and best-preserved mummified woolly mammoth found in North America," the press release said.

What a cutie. Interesting how similar she is to elephants of this day and age.

Lord have mercy, not a single mask or glove in sight! I can't even.

That aside, it's amazing to me how remnants of our history can still be uncovered in perfect conditions all these years later. It's never not fascinating how different the world was back then.
