Worm Survives 46,000 Years Frozen in Permafrost

All right. Well, from gaming to science, scientists have discovered a worm that lived alongside the wooly mammoths. The small round worm has been revived after more than 46,000 years frozen in Siberian permafrost. So, here's what we know the worm has survived in a suspended state where its metabolic activity level is so low. It doesn't show any signs of life. Researchers call the state as a point between life and death and they're now looking into the species of the worm to understand how they survive long periods of time like this. Well, if you're interested, the previous record for this type of frozen worm was just 25 years.
