It was a whole baby woolly mammoth, only the second one ever found in the world, and the first in North America. 'She's perfect and she's beautiful,' said Yukon government paleontologist Dr. Grant Zazula of Nun cho ga, the first whole baby woolly mammoth found in North America and second in the world. For the Trʼondëk Hwëchʼin, on whose land the baby woolly mammoth was found, the discovery was just as important and just as exciting. A group of people gather at the site where Nun cho ga was discovered at the Treadstone Mine at Eureka Creek in the Klondike. "It was very powerful," said Nagano, who added the elders blessed the baby woolly mammoth.
