A French archaeologist from the French National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research works on the excavation of remains from a preserved woolly mammoth skeleton, nicknamed “Helmut” by the excavation team and estimated to date from 125,000 to 200,000 years ago, at a quarry site in Changis-sur-Marne, France.

A scientist applies a silicon cast to the remains from the preserved woolly mammoth skeleton in Changis-sur-Marne, France. French archaeologists uncovered the rare, near-complete skeleton of a mammoth in the countryside east of Paris, alongside tiny fragments of flint tools suggesting the carcass may have been cut into by prehistoric hunters. The archaeologists say that if that hypothesis is confirmed, their find would be the clearest ever evidence of interaction between mammoths and ancient cavemen in this part of Europe.

Lowland gorillas are seen in Kahuzi-Biega National Park in South Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo. One hundred thirty individuals have been identified and live inside the park, one of the last refuges of the rare Eastern lowland gorilla. The gorilla population of the park was devastated during the successive wars that swept Congo, with hundreds dying in the fighting. Kahuzi-Biega National Park — named after two mountains within its boundaries — is the only place where tourists can legally see gorillas in Congo.
