24,000-year-old animal found alive, well and ready to reproduce
> The bdelloid rotifer is awake – and we're going to need to buy some more birthday candles.
>For the past 24,000 years, the multicellular microorganism has been snoozing in Siberian permafrost, having become frozen in the Arctic ice right around the same time in history that humans first ventured into North America during the Upper Paleolithic era, otherwise known as the Late Stone Age.
>Not only did the animal come back to life from its frozen nap, but it also successfully cloned itself multiple times with an asexual reproduction form known as parthenogenesis.
>“The takeaway is that a multicellular organism can be frozen and stored as such for thousands of years and then return back to life — a dream of many fiction writers,” Malavin said.
