According to research published on Current Biology, Bdelloid Rotifers, microscopic worm-like invertebrates (about 0.5 mm long), have been revived from a frozen state buried in Siberian permafrost radiocarbon-dated to 24000 years ago. The multicellular worms not only survived but can still reproduce parthenogenetically (asexually as female-only).
