How do species that were permafrost stay alive for thousands of years?

220 views

I just read a new that said something in the lines of “A 46,000-year-old worm found in Siberian permafrost was brought back to life, and started having babies”. How does this happen? Why is it so hard to do this with humans and other animals? Thanks in advance!

I worked with a medical examiner once who always said “you’re not truly dead until you’re WARM and dead” then explained that freezing slows down biological processes (heartbeat, respiration, circulation” so much that it may APPEAR to be death, but in reality it’s not.
