Yuri soon found the animal's body leaning against a store in a nearby town. While he was away, his cousin had sold it to the store owner. Dogs had eaten part of the tail and ear, but it was still in "as close to perfect condition as you can imagine,"says scientist Daniel Fisher. The police came to help. The body was raken by helicopter to museum. The animal was a baby mammoth from the Ice Age. It was female, so the scientists named it after Yuri's wife.
