A cave in Siberia has been discovered to be the largest cave hyena lair ever found in Asia, containing around 400 kilograms of animal bones. The bones, including those of mammoths, rhinos, wooly bison, yaks, deer, and gazelle, were dragged into the cave by cave hyenas around 42,000 years ago. Researchers also found the skulls of two cave hyenas, as well as bones of puppies, indicating that this was a feeding hub for the predators.
Paleontologists have discovered what is believed to be the largest ancient hyena lair in Asia in a cave in Siberia. The cave contains a wide variety of animal bones dating back 42,000 years, including those of brown bears, mammoths, rhinos, and hyenas. The bones show evidence of hyena activity, with gnaw marks and anatomically ordered remains suggesting that hyenas dragged carcasses into the lair. The discovery provides valuable insights into the flora, fauna, and climate of the Pleistocene epoch.
