Visitors to Moscow now have the opportunity to see a 33,000-year-old baby woolly rhino at the “Warm Permafrost” paleontological exhibition in Moscow. The intact body was found in Yakutia in 2014 in excellent condition, one of the first ever fully preserved baby wooly rhinos. The baby wooly rhino, a member of a long extinct species which roamed the frozen plains of the ice age, is one of the only babies of the species to ever go on dispaly.

A new study says better heart health in middle age may help reduce a person's risk significantly for dementia later in life. Researchers at Sweden's Karolinska Institute studied 1,449 Finns enrolled in the Finnish Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Aging, and Dementia study. Adults with 'ideal' results on several cardiovascular health metrics were found to be 86% less likely to be diagnosed with dementia than those with lower scores. According to UPI, the metrics considered included smoking history, engagement in physical activity, body weight, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure. The findings suggest that maintaining lifelong heart health by not smoking, exercising regularly, and staying slim may reduce dementia risk later in life.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says up to 29% of all adults in the United States, or about 70 million people, have high cholesterol. In addition to lifestyle changes around diet and exercise, prescription statin drugs can help control high cholesterol, which is liked to cardiovascular disease. Now, a new study reveals older adults benefit from statins at least as much as young people in reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart disease. According to UPI, researchers say that for every 80 people age 80 to 100 who take statins, one heart attack will be prevented. In contrast, three times that number of people between ages 50 and 59 would need to take the drugs to prevent one heart attack. Similarly, a second analysis shows statins reduce the risk for heart attack and stroke in people over 75 by 26% for every one-point reduction in LDL cholesterol.
