Meet Otzi Man
Most people have heard of Otzi Man, but in case you haven’t, he is one of the more well-known persons that have been discovered in the snow. This well-preserved body, estimated to be 5,300 years old, was discovered in the Alps between Austria and Italy. He is thought to be the genetic ancestor of a large number of Austrians in the area. He had gallstones, gum disease, hardened arteries, parasitic worms, damaged joints, and Lyme disease. Aside from his health, he had an arrow in his shoulder and blunt-force damage in his cranium.

Woolly Creatures
As previously said, scientists have frequently discovered many woolly critters on ice and areas with extremely cold weather conditions. Another example is the woolly rhino. This recent discovery was so well preserved that its fur remained intact where predators had not eaten on it. This rhino was thought to be around 18 months old. It was thought that the last of these species died extinct around 10,000 years ago, after being discovered in Sakha, Russia.
