Unexpected catch: The fisherman found mammoth skeletons in the water

Russian paleontologists are working on the site to dig up the skeletal parts from the clay.

- We do not yet know how much we will find, but it could be a whole skeleton, says researcher Yevgeniya Khozyainova.

Already now, the research group has found that it is an unusual find, with almost all skeletal parts preserved.
