In a stunning archaeological breakthrough, scientists have discovered a 35,000-year-old mummified saber-toothed kitten, Homotherium latidens, preserved in the Siberian permafrost. The remarkably intact remains of the kitten, including its fur and whiskers, provide new insights into the species, revealing significant differences when compared to modern lion cubs. This will be the first thorough study of such a well-preserved specimen, allowing researchers to analyze its physical features and genetics. The find adds to the wealth of knowledge about ancient wildlife that once roamed the Earth and offers a glimpse into the past ecosystems of the Arctic.
