The preserved head will offer clues to the genetic make-up of ancient animals.
Protopopov, together with researchers from Sweden and Japan, will study the wolf's head. The research group will analyze the beast's DNA and using non-invasive methods look inside its skull.Estimates so far suggest that the head belonged to an adult wolf that was two to four years old at that time. Other wolf heads have been found in the area, but this is the first one that has been discovered in such good condition with so much preserved brain tissue.
The 42,000-year-old horse was found in a very well-preserved condition to the point where liquid blood was extracted from the horse's heart. Usually, blood coagulates or turns to powder as the liquids inside it ages. The liquid blood found in the horse's heart meant that there is the possibility of cloning the foal. But first the cloning team led by Semyon Grigoriev, the head of the Mammoth Museum at North-Eastern Federal University in Yakutsk needed to determine if the blood contains viable cells. Tragically,The baby horse is a Lena foal . Dubbed buttercup by its caretakers, it is thought to have died after getting stuck in the mud when it was 2 months old.
Its icy death bed preserved the animal down to the most minute detail including having a tiny amount of urine in the bladder. The thawing of ice due to climate change is thought to be contributing to the recent spate of discoveries.

NOAA: Ian, drought supercharged US weather extremes in 2022Costly weather disasters kept raining down on America last year, pounding the nation with 18 climate extremes that caused at least $1 billion in damage each, totaling more than $165 billion, federal climate scientists calculated Tuesday. The amount, cost and death toll of billion-dollar weather disaster s make up a key measurement, adjusted for inflation, that NOAA uses to see how bad human-caused climate change is getting. “People are seeing the impacts of a changing climate system where they live, work and play on a regular basis,” NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad said at a Tuesday press conference.
