A new life has been given to a plant found buried in a glacier. Apparently, this plant had life 32,000 years ago but died and a squirrel took its seeds and buried them. These seeds were just dug up and found by Russian scientists in a glacier and was re-planted from the DNA taken from the seed. This would be the oldest plant to ever be reborn in history smashing the old record of 2,000 years.
