Scientists in Russia's far northeast region of Yakutia have discovered the body of an Ice Age puppy dating back more than 12,000 years. It is intact from nose to tail with perfectly preserved internal organs, including most of the brain, and that's never happened before. Dr. Mietje Germonpré from the Paleontological Departement of Natural History Institute in Belgium reflects on the discovery.
