TOKYO – I giornalisti hanno potuto osservare Yuka, il mammut lanoso lungo tre metri ritrovato nel ghiaccio della Siberia.
L’animale, ritrovato in una tomba di ghiaccio nelle isole siberiane di Novosibirsk, è morto 39 mila anni fa. La sua conservazione, sfortunatamente non ha riguardato la parte superiore del tronco e due gambe che sono state ritrovate nel terreno circostante e in parte rosicchiate dai predatori preistorici e moderni.
Questo incredibile animale preistorico verrà esposto al pubblico nel centro congressi di Yokohama a sud di Tokyo, dal 13 luglio al 19 settembre (foto Epa/Ansa)
