Para arkeolog menemukan ladang berisi fosil gajah purba atau mammoth di Serbia. Tak hanya satu, di lokasi ini setidaknya terdapat fosil lima gajah purba tersebut.

Para arkeolog yakin hewan raksasa ini merupakan nenek moyang dari gajah modern dan hidup di Serbia puluhan ribu tahun silam.

Lokasi penemuan fosil mammoth ini berada di tambang batu bara Kostolac, di timur ibu kota Belgrade dan menjadi menjadi yang pertama di wilayah itu.

Miomir Korac dari Archeology Institute Serbia mengatakan, temuan ini memberi pandangan penting mengenai Balkan selama zaman es.

“Ada jutaan serpihan mammoth di dunia. Sayangnya, serpihan itu sangat jarang ada yang bisa diakses,” katanya seperti dikutip DailyMail.

Penemuan fosil mammoth ini diyakini mampu memberi informasi luar biasa mengenai seperti apa wilayah tersebut selama zaman es.

“Temuan ini sangat menarik karena tak biasanya ada banyak tulang di satu tempat,” ujar peneliti mammoth, Sanja Alaburic dari Museum of Natural History Serbia. [ikh]
