35,000-Year-Old Saber-Toothed Kitten Mummy Unearthed in Siberia

Scientists have discovered a remarkably well-preserved 35,000-year-old mummified saber-toothed kitten in Siberian permafrost, offering new insights into the extinct species Homotherium latidens. The juvenile cat, found near the Badyarikha River in Yakutia, Russia, provides valuable information about its physical characteristics and adaptations to cold climates, differing significantly from modern lion cubs. This discovery enhances understanding of the distribution and evolution of saber-toothed cats during the Ice Age.
