1. What parts of Lyuba are scientists using to learn about her life history?
What have they learned?
Scientists are studying Lyuba’s well-preserved DNA to learn more
about mammoth history in Siberia. Her teeth help scientists determine
how long she spent in her mother’s womb, when she was born, and her
approximate age when she died. Lyuba’s intestines show what kind of
nourishment she received. X-rays and CT-scans combined with forensic
examinations reveal Lyuba’s distinctive mammoth features and her bone
structure. Examination of Lyuba’s trunk, mouth, esophagus and trachea
help scientists suggest her cause of death.
