Khroma was however found in poorer condition than Lyuba. She remained preserved in the permafrost in a vertical position so that when it was found, predators such as foxes Arctic had removed parts of his trunk and his head , and the lump of fat that should probably cover the back of his neck. The scanner revealed that the size of the brain of Khroma was slightly lower than that of a baby elephant of the same age, suggesting the hypothesis that the time of gestation at the mammoths was shorter than for elephants .
The conservation status of soft tissues is such that researchers do not hesitate to talk about mummies for the two bodies. We can study the muscles, connective tissue, organs and skin of woolly mammoths. We are even able to reconstruct the likely scenario of their dead.
Milk older than 40,000 years mammoth!

In the case of Lyuba, it was not even necessary to use the data provided by the industrial scanner Ford factory in Michigan where she was examined. Of sediment for blocking his trunk, throat and bronchi . She would be dead by suffocation inhaling mud. This suggests that it should be crossing a lake, walking on the frozen surface when the ice gave way under his weight. In support of this hypothesis, it was found in these sediments a mineral called vivianite that forms in cold, oxygen-poor environments such precisely the lake bottom.
For Khroma, coarser sediments were found again in his trunk and throat, but unfortunately not in his lungs , not preserved. His spine fractured indicates a fall. This suggests that it was close to a river and a collapse of the bank was precipitated in water. Remarkably, his stomach contained very well preserved undigested milk and having the appearance of a yogurt leftovers. His mother was breastfeeding within an hour before his death, the researchers said.
In any event, Lyuba and Khroma is now a sort of Rosetta stone that will help paleontologists to decipher the remains of other woolly mammoths that can be found in the permafrost of Arctic Siberia. As one is older by about one month than the other, they give us both an overview of the transformations of this species during their growth.
