A pair of hunters recently discovered one of the few woolly rhinos, and the only calf, found in Russia.
Scientists are now examining the body for any usable DNA. This DNA would determine which living rhino is most closely related to the one found. This practice is not unique. Other studies, also, work to determine the lineage of other animals and even people.
UPS delivers 15.8 million packages a day worldwide. To squeeze every ounce of efficiency out of its operations UPS needs to focus on even the smallest things.
