A mammoth of a coincidence

Yesterday, on Tuesday July 10th, "The Prisoner of White 
Agony Creek" was finally published in the Netherlands. In 
this story the "glacier monster", the giant frozen mammoth 
in its ice cave, makes a second appearance (after Lo$ 8).

Guess which story hits the newsstands on that exact same 
day?

"A baby mammoth unearthed in the permafrost of north-west 
Siberia could be the best preserved specimen of its type, 
scientists have said. The frozen carcass is to be sent to 
Japan for detailed study. The six-month-old female calf 
was discovered on the Yamal peninsula of Russia and is 
thought to have died 10,000 years ago. The animal's trunk 
and eyes are still intact and some of its fur remains on 
the body."
