Two ancient nematodes are moving and eating normally again for the first time since the Pleistocene age. The roundworms were found frozen in the Siberian permafrost, and subsequently thawed out and brought back to life in Petri dishes.

According to The Siberian Times, Russian scientists "defrosted" and revived two nematodes (AKA roundworms) that had been preserved in the Arctic permafrost for around 40,000 years. The team, who was working in collaboration with Princeton University, found the specimens while analyzing more than 300 soil samples.
