Talk:List of mammoth specimens

Nun cho ga

According to the NYT:

He said it might be the best-preserved specimen found in North America and could even surpass Lyuba, a female woolly mammoth calf found in Siberia in 2017 almost intact but missing a tail.

If true this would change the description of Lyuba here and in that article. Nun cho ga has a tail while Lyuba does not, yet Lyuba is described as most complete speciman. -- GreenC 05:09, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

Discrepancies in age of remains

Is anyone able to resolve these?

Adams mammoth: this article gives 35,800. Its own WP article does not give an age; 1 of its 3 sources gives 36,000-37,000, other 2 are unavailable to me.

Malolyakhovsky Mammoth (Buttercup): this article gives 28,610. 1 of its 3 sources gives 40,000. No WP article.

Yuka mammoth: this article gives 34,300. Its own WP article gives 39,000.

Sopkarga Mammoth (Zhenya): this article gives 43,350. Its own WP article and this article's reference both give 48,000, so this article's table entry appears incorrect.

To vague scope

This scope is extremely vague and broad, and since there are thousands of mammoth specimens, useless and unlikely to ever be complete. Better to make it more specific, such as about frozen woolly mammoth specimens. FunkMonk (talk) 04:06, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
