Jarkov Mammoth
The Jarkov Mammoth (named for the family who discovered it) is a woolly mammoth〔Mol, D. et al. (2001). The Jarkov Mammoth: 20,000-Year-Old carcass of a Siberian woolly mammoth ''Mammuthus primigenius'' (Blumenbach, 1799). The World of Elephants, Proceedings of the 1st International Congress (October 16–20, 2001, Rome): 305-309. (Full text pdf )〕 that was discovered in 1997 on the Siberian Taymyr Peninsula, by a nine-year-old boy. This particular mammoth is estimated to have lived about 20,000 years ago. It is likely to be male and probably died at age 47.
== Discovery ==
Simion Jarkov was a young Dolgan living in the village of Khatanga, north of the Arctic Circle. Jarkov was visiting his family approximately further north in Novorybnoye. While hunting near 73°32'N, 105°49'E,〔 he discovered the curved, tips of the tusks, which his brother reported to the Taymyr Nature Reserve. An attempt was initially made to move the tusks. The director, Yuri Karbuinov, said:
"At first they tried to move the tusks, but I advised them to secure the site because it seemed to be a unique find."
The Nature Reserve did not initially investigate the find, so the Jarkovs contacted well-known mammoth-hunter Bernard Buigues. On 18 October 1999, the block of mud and ice was lifted via helicopter to the ice cave in Khatanga.〔
