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

A mummified saber-toothed cat cub, preserved in Siberian permafrost for over 37,000 years, has been discovered, marking the first time such a specimen has been found. This cub, belonging to the extinct genus Homotherium, provides unprecedented insights into the anatomy and adaptations of this Ice Age predator, including its fur, paw structure, and jaw adaptations. The discovery offers significant implications for understanding extinct species and their evolutionary pathways, as researchers continue to explore Siberia's melting permafrost for more such finds.
