SOFIA, July 29 (Reuters) - The remains of what is believed to be an ancient mammoth have been revealed in northern Bulgaria, after Danube River water levels receded to a record low level, the BTA news agency reported on Wednesday, citing historians.
The animal's remains were found on Wednesday by a local resident of the Ryahovo village, who noticed the unusual find on the river bed.
Villagers then alerted specialists in the Regional History Museum in the nearby town of Ruse.
Danube levels have fallen to record lows in recent weeks following the summer's prolonged heat waves and drought that have affected rivers across Europe including key waterways such as the Rhine.
