The miner for Treadstone Gold got in his excavator on June 21 just before lunch and set out for the river in Yukon's Klondike fields where he began scratching the black earth.
Tr’ondek Hwech’in elders named the mammoth Nun cho ga, which means "big baby animal" in the nation's Han language. Brian Groves, senior heritage manager for Yukon, said preliminary examinations show Nun cho ga was female and between 30 and 35 days old when she died. The animal is about 140 centimetres long and has well-preserved hair, trunk and tiny toenails that haven't been hardened.
"It was an experience that just grows on you and every day you get emotional about it because you get connected."
