Researchers have successfully resurrected one of these small animals after 24,000 years of freezing in the permafrost

Although such simple organisms like bacteria generally can survive in the permafrost for thousands of years, "which has a nervous system, the brain and all the animals"

In 2015, Malavin and his team drilled in the permafrost near the Arazea River in northeastern Siberia, Russia

"We are very confident that this is a new species in science," Malavin said

The researchers used accelerator mass spectrometry to determine the age when the organic residues of rotifers were discovered

Modern rotifers seem to have a similar ability to survive after being frozen

According to Malavin, it is not clear how they did it

In addition, it is not clear how long rotifers or other freezing-tolerant animals can survive in permafrost
