These 40,000-year-old frozen worms just came back to life – TweakTown
Russian scientists found a frozen worm that is around 40,000 years old. The scientists thawed it out, and it came back to life.
Russian researchers found two ancient nematodes (roundworms) in the Siberian permafrost, and now those worms have defrosted and returned back to life.
A new report from The Siberian Times indicates that Russian scientists “defrosted” and subsequently revived two roundworms that had been frozen in the Arctic permafrost for a staggering 40,000 years. Now that these worms have come back to life through a slow defrost, they are now the oldest living animals on the planet.
