I learned that a mammoth was found frozen while it was still eating. Could you explain that? — Sarah of Leesville, LA

Dear Sarah,

People have found baby mammoths in Siberia. From the food in their stomachs, it seems that they died very quickly. Scientists don't know exactly what happened to these mammoths, but they may have died in a snow storm.

There were many mammoths, and they had plenty of food to eat. But where they were buried is now very cold. Some scientists believe that the climate in that area changed suddenly after the Flood of Noah. The mammoths did not move to warmer areas, and so they all died in the freezing weather.
