Record-low water levels on Bulgaria’s stretch of the Danube River, linked to prolonged heat and insufficient rainfall, expose fossil remains in the riverbed near the village of Ryahovo. Multiple reports describe the find as belonging to a young woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius), identified by the condition and morphology of the bones revealed by the unusually dry conditions. A local resident notices the remains as the water falls, and experts then examine the exposed material. Reported parts include the jaw and tusks, as well as additional elements such as the femur and other major bones from the animal’s skeleton. The discovery adds new information about Ice Age fauna in the region. Scientists say further fieldwork and excavation are likely, as more of the skeleton may remain buried or be revealed as water levels continue to change. The exposed bones are in the Danube’s riverbed, emphasizing how the river’s current low flow conditions make prehistoric remains visible.
