Summary

A remarkably well-preserved saber-toothed cub, estimated to be around three weeks old, was discovered in Siberia.

The cub, belonging to the species Homotherium latidens, lived approximately 35,500 to 37,000 years ago and offers valuable insights into the anatomy and soft tissue of the extinct species.

The discovery of the cub, along with other well-preserved fossils in Siberia, provides a snapshot of the region’s ancient ecosystem.

      Nonsense. I have been to a museum and seen cat mummies and they look like this.

      This is clearly just a very old little baby kitty cat that needs to be given lots of pets for being such a good kitty!
