Nun Cho Ga (Big Animal Baby)
In 2022, a woolly mammoth baby was discovered in Yukon Territory, on Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in land, by a young placer miner. Named Nun cho ga, which means “big animal baby” in the Hän language spoken by the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in, the baby is one of the best-preserved woolly mammoths ever discovered. She is around the same size as the Lyuba, who was discovered in Siberia in 2007.
