Default Baby mammoth find

Really amazing. 40,000 years old. Thats hard to believe. They named it after the guys wife who found it. Is that supposed to be a compliment? "Your wife looks like a wooly mammoth"

They only found her because of Global Warming. You're next. Once Global Warming is done with us it will be a 40,000 year old man that will be found in russia, also in near mint condition: Lenin.

I wonder if the hunter who found it will receive any financial benefits? Afterall, finders keepers.
