10 Creatures Found FROZEN In Ice!
A lot of major discoveries have been found frozen in ice, which figures because ice is an awesome
natural preservative, able to keep anything within its ice grip preserved for hundreds, and even
thousands of years.
Today we will be taking a look at 10 creatures found frozen in ice. Some of these entries are of extinct
animals, long buried in their frozen tombs, while others, like number one for instance, is a lesson not to
stray too close to frozen bodies of water. Stay tuned till the end to find out more. Let’s begin shall we?

Number 10. A Young Wooly Rhinoceros
Around 20,000 years ago, a young woolly rhinoceros went about its day like usual in the icy region of
what is now northern Siberia. Foraging for food, something likely went fatally wrong for the young
animal as it drowned in the Tirekhtyakh River or a nearby area of water.
Fast forward a few millennia and that woolly rhino's tragic fate that day has become a pathologist's
dream come true. The ancient carcass was discovered by a local farmer in Yakutia, Siberia, in August
2020, about 15,000 years after the wooly rhinoceros is believed to have gone extinct. The fossil was
found with a fully intact fur coat, hooves, and internal organs, giving scientists a crucial puzzle piece on
the anatomy, behaviors and life of the creatures.
The recently found frozen creature isn't the first woolly rhino to be discovered in the area, as another
ice-preserved specimen was unearthed in 2015. That rhino, nicknamed Sasha, was the first baby woolly
rhino ever discovered and is believed to have roamed the region around 34,000 years ago.

Number 9. A Cave Bear

Siberia seems to be the place to go to if you want to find frozen animals. Case in point, this perfectly
preserved, 39,500-year-old cave bear found on the New Siberian island of Bolshyoy Lyakhovsky.
The adult bear lived its life sometime in the last Ice Age, at the same time as large animals like woolly
mammoths, mastodons and saber-toothed tigers. When the bear died, permafrost preserved its soft
tissues, organs and fur, making it the best-preserved example of a cave bear found yet. Most cave bear
remains discovered so far have been odd bones and skulls.
It was initially discovered by reindeer herders working on the island before it was reported to experts at
the North Eastern Federal University.
The cave bear carcass presents a lot of exciting opportunities for new research into Ice Age ecosystems.
Its teeth might reveal details about its diet and the territory it grew up on; while the contents of its
stomach will show whether the bear ate plants, animals or both; and ancient DNA analysis could
illuminate its evolutionary history.

Number 8. Yuka the Mammoth

Ice is an amazing natural preservative. If something is frozen in it, and is kept frozen, chances are any
animal or plant matter will stay perfectly preserved for an indefinite time. Because of this, Siberia’s
permafrost has yielded hundreds of frozen prehistoric animal specimens, fossicles if you may, much to
the delight to scientists. But one day in 2007, scientists found something that trumped nearly any fossil
previously discovered; a perfectly preserved carcass of a baby wooly mammoth.
The mammoth, who was since named Yuka, died around 10,000 years ago in the frozen tundra of
northern Russia, and remained frozen in the ground until it was discovered by reindeer herder Yuri
Khudi in May 2007 May near the Yuribei river in Russia's Yamal-Nenents autonomous district. It was
found in a virtually inaccessible part of north-western Siberia, which makes me wonder what Yuri was
doing there in the first place. The mammoth was so perfectly preserved that it had no defects, except
for the tail being lopsided, making one of the most important paleontological finds of the day.

Number 7. The Largest Penguin Ever
The remoteness and harshness of Antarctica makes it one of the least explored places on earth. That’s
why scientists think that the icy continent is hiding many secrets just waiting to be discovered by those
who are bold enough. Thanks to the permafrost yielding some of its secrets in the past few years, were
slowly getting to know this enigmatic place. And this frozen discovery, is one of its best kept secrets.
The largest penguin species to have ever waddled on earth was unearthed in Antarctica, and its size is
almost incomprehensible. Standing at 6 foot 8 inches from toe to beak tip, the giant bird would have
dwarfed most adult humans.
