THE rare remains of a prehistoric species of southern mammoth, whose giant tusks stretched more than a meter long, have been uncovered in southern Russia, news agency Itar-Tass has reported. It is the eighth known find of a full skeleton of the mammal which stood at an estimated height of 4 meters. It was discovered in the mountainous province of Kabardino-Balkaria in Russia's North Caucasus. Palaeontologists said the area is so full of prehistoric beasts that locals use backbones as stools.
