In Yakutia , Russia , miners accidentally uncovered the mummified carcass of a wooly rhino.

The specimen is incredibly scientifically valuable, as only five other specimens with preserved soft tissue had been discovered in the area.

Researchers will eventually be able to compare the genes of this creature to those of other previously studied specimens, and investigate any genetic links.
