Baby mammoth Lyuba
Baby mammoth Lyuba, pristinely preserved, offers scientists rare look into mysteries of Ice Age

She may be 40,000 years old, but an amazingly well-preserved baby mammoth is in great shape for her age, bringing scientists closer to solving some of the mysteries of the Ice Age.
Lyuba, who was discovered in 2007 in the Russian Artic, was about one-month old when she fell victim to a mudslide or drowned according to National Geographic, which will air a special about her, "Waking the Baby Mammoth," on Sunday April 26 at 9 p.m.
The clay-like substance that likely suffocated her also "pickled" her, preserving the little mammoth in a nearly pristine state, USAToday.com reported.
Her skin and organs are intact, and scientists were able to identify milk from her mother in her stomach.
"We are learning more about what [mammoths] ate and how to recognize animals that are healthy versus stressed," Daniel Fisher, a member of the research team, told National Geographic.
While previously discovered mammoth specimens, which are less well-preserved than Lyuba, appeared to be starving, Lyuba was the picture of health.
By examining Lyuba's teeth, researchers hope to gain insight into what caused Ice Age mammals, including the mammoths, to suddenly vanish around 10,000 years ago, at the end of the Pleistocene era.
"This quirky line of investigation is a tool by which we'll be able to solve the late Pleistocene extinction," Fisher told National Geographic. "We'll be able to distinguish between the two main competitors: climate change and hunting."

Pickled Mammoth Milk, yum!
Albob told me that was his favorite dessert as a teenager....Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

Bison has 50% less fat than Beef. So maybe Mammoth meat has 50% less fat than Bison.
So they should get a sample of its DNA, clone it, then raise them on a farm as livestock....There you go several new jobs created in the farming industry.

Never had Moose, but anything is better with a nice cold beer to wash it down...So I assume this would work with Mammoth as well.
