TEXTO:
Archaeologists ∈Serbia say that they have
discovered a rare mammoth field containing the remains
of at least five of the giant beasts that lived here tens of
thousands of years ago. The discovery last week at the
[5] Kostolac coal mine, east of Serbian capital of Belgrade,
is the first of its kind ∈ the region. It could offer important
insight into the ice age ∈ the Balkans, said Miomir from
Serbia’s mammoth fragments ∈ the world, but they are
rarely so accessible for exploration,” he told the
[10] Associated Press.
The remains were found during coal excavation
about 20 meters below ground, and the field, according
to Korac, stretches over some 20 acres of sandy terrain.
In 2009, a well-preserved skeleton of a much older
[15] mammoth was found at the same site. Vika — as the
female skeleton was dubbed — is up to one million years
old and belonged to the furless, so-called southern
mammoth. The bones discovered last month probably
belong to the so-called woolly mammoth, which
[20] disappeared some 10,000 years ago, said Sanja Alaburic,
a mammoth expert from Serbia’s Museum of Natural
History. Alaburic explained that “this discovery is
interesting because, unusually, there are many bones
∈ one place,” probably brought there by torrential waters.
[25] Another mammoth skeleton was discovered ∈
northern Serbia ∈1996. It belonged to a female mammoth
that lived about 500,000 years ago and is now on display
∈ the town of Kikinda, near the Hungarian border. As to
the new findings, Korac said that at least six months
[30] will be needed before all the bones are unearthed.

What makes the newly discovered mammoth fossils different from the one named Vika is that they
( ) must have been furry.
( ) aren’t as old as Vika.
( ) are all male skeletons.
( ) are thought to have disappeared about ten thousand years ago.
