Siberian Ice Princess

The Siberian Ice Princess refers to a fossilized mammoth, often called a "woolly mammoth," preserved in the Siberian permafrost. These ancient ice bodies provide valuable insights into prehistoric life, climate change, and extinct species. The preservation occurs because the cold temperatures slow decay, often maintaining flesh, hair, and even DNA, allowing scientists to study their biology and environment from thousands of years ago. Discoveries like this deepen our understanding of Earth's past ecosystems and climate fluctuations, illustrating the dramatic impacts of environmental change over millennia.
