A frozen worm, trapped in ice for some 24,000 years, has been brought back to life, according to new research published on Monday in the journal Current Biology. Russian scientists have managed to thaw the tiny worm, a "Bdelloid Rotifer," which was found in the Alazeya River, located in the Russian arctic. This multicellular organism can also be found in freshwater habitats worldwide.
