            <media:description><![CDATA[In 2018, a team of mammoth tusk hunters were excavating the Batagaika crater, located in Russia?s Siberian region, when they came across what would be a groundbreaking discovery. Embedded beneath 30 meters of permafrost was a wonderfully preserved foal unlike anything seen before.]]></media:description>

            <media:title><![CDATA[The Location]]></media:title>
            <media:description><![CDATA[The Batagaika crater, often referred to as the ?Gateway to the Underworld,? is a vast depression in the Siberian permafrost formed due to the rising global temperatures. It?s located in the frigid Chersky Range, which, due to its unique and extreme environment, makes an ideal landscape for organic matter to be preserved and locked in the permafrost. Researchers estimate the crater may hold up to 200,000 years of geological and biological history.]]></media:description>

            <media:description><![CDATA[After the discovery of the foal, the locals called for a team of scientists to investigate the finding. Paleontologists from Russia and Japan arrived at the crater to properly excavate the foal, and subsequently took the specimen to the Mammoth Museum at the North-Eastern Federal University in Yakutsk, Russia, to further analyze it.]]></media:description>

            <media:title><![CDATA[The Analysis]]></media:title>
            <media:description><![CDATA[It was easy to tell that the specimen was old. After all, it had been sealed shut in permafrost. The specimen was dated to an incredible 46,000 years old ? around the time of the end of the last ice age. What made this specimen all the more intriguing, however, was the near perfect condition in which it was found. It still had its skin and DNA intact and, even more incredibly, it had liquid blood present, which is almost unheard of in any specimens that old. In fact, it holds the record for having the oldest liquid blood ever found.]]></media:description>

            <media:title><![CDATA[The Identification]]></media:title>
            <media:description><![CDATA[Using the DNA collected from the Batagaika crater specimen, it was positively identified as being a Lena horse foal. This species and specimen in particular is significant for what it can tell us about horse evolution. Further, it provides researchers with a unique opportunity to study the anatomy, diet, and genetics of this extinct species, offering insights that would normally be impossible to glean from fossilized remains alone.]]></media:description>

            <media:title><![CDATA[The Lena Horse]]></media:title>
            <media:description><![CDATA[The Lena horse (Equus lenensis) was first described as a subspecies of wild horse in 1968 after skull fragments were found in north-east Siberia. Several bone fragments and fossils of Lena horse have been found throughout the region, indicating that it must?ve been widespread before its extinction around 5,000 years ago.]]></media:description>

            <media:description><![CDATA[The hair, skin, hooves, and internal organs of the foal were all remarkably well-preserved. We now know that the horse was ?bay?-colored (reddish brown) and had a black tail and mane. Moreover, researchers identified that the horse would have been about two weeks old when it died. Further, its death can be attributed to starvation or thirst after having gotten stuck in the mud that preserved its body so well.]]></media:description>

            <media:title><![CDATA[Ongoing Research]]></media:title>
            <media:description><![CDATA[Researchers are continuing to study the foal, focusing on its genetic material to understand better the evolutionary history of horses. In addition, its stomach contents are proving insights into the flora and environmental conditions of ancient Siberia. Furthermore, the perfectly intact DNA could potentially be used to de-extinct the horse ? effectively ?resurrecting? it.]]></media:description>

            <media:title><![CDATA[What is Permafrost?]]></media:title>
            <media:description><![CDATA[Permafrost is a layer of soil or rock that remains completely frozen (at 32 ?F or 0 ?C or colder) for at least two consecutive years. Significant portions of the Northern Hemisphere, including Russia, Alaska, and Greenland, as well as Antarctica in the Southern Hemisphere are covered in permafrost. It acts as a natural refrigerator, slowing down the natural process of decomposition and often preserving organic material and ecosystems in a near-perfect state.]]></media:description>

            <media:description><![CDATA[There have been several impressive organic specimens found in permafrost, besides the Lena horse, including plants, animals, bacteria, and nematodes. Most of the specimens have been found, however, due to the permafrost melting as a result of the increasing average global temperature (global warming).]]></media:description>

            <media:description><![CDATA[Many microscopic organisms, such as tardigrades, are considered extremophiles. This means that they can survive seemingly impossible environmental conditions, such as being frozen solid. It is entirely possible, probable even, that there are species of harmful bacteria and viruses locked in a state known as ?cryptobiosis,? out of which they may come, if the ice melts.]]></media:description>

            <media:description><![CDATA[Organic material is mostly carbon. You and me included. Now, when an organic material dies, it gets broken down by microbes into smaller, simpler organic matter ? a process called decomposition. As a by-product of decomposition, carbon is released into the atmosphere in the form of CO? (carbon dioxide) or CH? (methane), otherwise known as greenhouse gases.]]></media:description>
