In 2021, a piece of news officially announced by Canada caused quite a stir in the entire scientific community. According to relevant news, Canadian officials discovered a female sub-adult wolf cub in the permafrost area.
What’s interesting is that this little wolf died about 57,000 years ago. According to research by biologists, its death was most likely an accident and was closely related to the natural environment at the time.
Coincidentally, in the past few years, an extinct creature was also discovered in the Russian permafrost area. The name of this creature is woolly rhinoceros . Although it is only one body, 80% of its body is perfectly preserved.
It is understood that this creature probably lived 20,000 to 50,000 years ago. The experience of this woolly rhinoceros is similar to that of the female sub-adult wolf cub mentioned before. Both suffered sudden accidents and their bodies were sealed in the permafrost.

Another blockbuster news broke out in North America not long ago. According to the data in this report, the remains of a prehistoric creature were discovered in the permafrost in North America. At the beginning of the discovery , most of the creature’s fur has been preserved intact. Through previous information, we learned that the remains of this prehistoric creature should come from a mammoth that was only about one month old.
In fact, most people are not unfamiliar with mammoths. Although I have never seen it in real life, the protagonist of "Ice Age" released by Disney that year was a mammoth.

The previous activity range of mammoths was mainly concentrated in parts of Europe, Asia, North America . They are animals that live in cold climates and were once one of the largest elephants in the world. It is said that its weight can reach 12 tons. In addition, mammoths are also the creatures known to mankind that have the shortest time to go extinct among ancient creatures.
Although the remains of prehistoric creatures have been found in the frozen soil many times, they are still an unimaginable treasure for many biologists. Through these remains, the environmental climate and multi-faceted ecosystems of the earth at that time can be very clearly judged.
However, it is worth noting that the sudden appearance of the remains of these prehistoric creatures is definitely not a good signal for meteorologists. It can even be said that the earth is already sending a warning to humans.

Permafrost, as the name suggests, is impossible to melt according to the original ecological trajectory of the earth. Today, a large amount of permafrost is melting, exposing the remains of prehistoric creatures, which means that human life on the earth has seriously affected the entire earth's ecosystem.
According to statistics from the World Meteorological Organization , the current temperature on the earth has increased by a full 5°C compared to before 2015. As human life continues, the earth's warming state continues.
Perhaps within a few years, the permafrost will melt faster and faster. What kind of negative impact will it have on humans by then?
In addition, what is sealed in the permafrost is not only the remains of prehistoric creatures, but also some giant viruses from prehistory. Once these viruses spread unchecked on the earth today, the earth's ecosystem will have almost no chance to resist. In other words, the melting of permafrost is likely to open the Earth’s Pandora’s box.
