35,000-Year-Old Mummified Saber-Toothed Kitten Discovered in Siberia

A well-preserved saber-toothed cat cub, identified as Homotherium latidens, was found encased in ice in Russia's Republic of Sakha, dating back 35,000 years. This discovery, only the second of its kind in Eurasia, provides insights into the anatomy and adaptations of this extinct predator, which roamed during the Late Pleistocene. The cub's features, such as a massive neck and elongated forelimbs, suggest adaptations for cold climates, offering valuable data on the species' geographical range and physical characteristics.
