Welcome to Siberia!
So you’re the new
reporter from Planet TV.
I’m Lauren...
...Julian asked me to
look after you.
Come and look!
People are calling it
the discovery of the

herder found it.
What do you
think it is?

I’ve never
seen anything like
it before – it’s a baby
mammoth. They died out
10 000 years ago.
I ‘d say it’s a
metre high and it must
weigh about twice as
much as you do.
It’s been frozen for
all this time.

would have looked
like this – 3 m tall and
6 tonnes in weight –

Imagine
going back 15 000
years...
Europe was in
an ice age. Mammoth
fossils are found just
south of the ice,
where there used to
be grasslands.

The journey is not an easy one
