[Stone Age worms dug up from the
Siberian permafrost were brought back to
life after 46,000 years in suspended
animation - becoming
the oldest-known creatures to have existed.

The roundworms were discovered by
Russian scientists inside a fossilised squirrel burrow
and a deep glacial deposit near
the Kolyma River in 2018,
but it was unclear what they were,
or how long they had been trapped in the ice.

Now genetic sequencing has shown they
are an entirely new species of nematode
worm which has lain dormant since the
last Ice Age.]
