A 46,000-year-old worm found in Siberian permafrost was brought back to life, and started having babies

• Scientists revived a 46,000-year-old worm that was living in Siberian permafrost. 
• When they brought it back to life, the worm started having babies. 
• Small worms like this are known to have the ability to shut down biological functions to survive.

Scientists discovered a female microscopic roundworm that has been stuck deep in Siberian permafrost for 46,000 years, the Washington Post reported. When they revived it, the worm started having babies via a process called parthenogenesis, which doesn't require a mate.
