Gold miners have discovered partial skeletons of three woolly mammoths, which may have been part of the same family, at Little Flake Mine near Dawson City, Yukon, in Canada. They turned over the bones to the Yukon government. “We seem to have one large full-grown mammoth, one younger adult and one juvenile,” said Grant Zazula, the head palaeontologist for the Yukon government.
