Scientists looking at a nearly intact mammoth carcass say the woolly beast may have been killed by an ice-age human.

Alexei Tikhonov of the St. Petersburg Zoology Institute told the Associated Press that the mammoth found in Siberia—one of the best preserved carcasses ever found—could have been "possibly" killed by a human or a rival mammoth.

The remarkable discovery was made last month by an 11-year-old Russian boy. While exploring the area around his home, the youngster uncovered a tusk, bones, fur and flesh of a creature that is estimated to be 30,000 years old, the Daily Mail reports.

The boy, Yevgeny Salinder, according to ABC News, found the remains in permafrost in Taymyr, located in Russia's northernmost region.

The mammoth is informally named Zhenya, after the boy's nickname. Its official name is the Sopkarginsky mammoth, according to ABC News.

The 16-year-old mammoth was 6 feet 6 inches tall and weighed about 1,100 pounds, Tikhonov told AP. While the mammoth is nearly

Syrup is serious business in Quebec, which houses a reported $30 million worth of maple syrup. (Yahoo!)Breakfast fans, rest assured: Your French toast and pancake toppings are a little safer this morning.

Police have made their first major breakthrough in the great maple syrup heist of 2012, after Canadian authorities seized 600 barrels of maple syrup that was allegedly stolen from a Quebec facility.

"They came in and said we're taking everything, there wasn't much I could do," said Etienne St-Pierre, who told The Associated Press he initially thought the officers were joking.

Even the ushers in the Blumhouse of Horrors will send chills up your spine (Blumhouse)Next week on the Sideshow we will be debuting the first of what will hopefully become a regular video feature on the blog. Today, we'd like to give you a preview of that first episode, a tour of the Blumhouse of Horrors.

The Blumhouse of Horrors was conceived by Jason Blum, producer of the Paranormal Activity films and the upcoming movie, Sinister.

"Blumhouse is passionate about telling scary stories in entirely new ways and we are taking everything we have learned from our film production experience to create a one-of-a-kind Haunted House in downtown L.A.," Blum said.

Blum is no stranger to haunted houses; along with the Paranormal Activity series, he has also produced the 2010 haunted house flick Insidious.

But for this project, Blum turned his attention to a real-world location that many say is itself haunted: The Variety Arts Theater in downtown Los Angeles.

The vaudeville-themed attraction tells the story of the mysterious performer Magii and his dark legacy inside the labyrinth
