For some 37,000 years, the soft, furry body of a three-week-old saber-toothed 'kitten' lay cradled by Arctic permafrost, its head, limbs, paws, and torso remaining almost perfectly preserved by the cold.

Scientists have discovered a mummified saber-toothed kitten in Siberia. The cold, dry conditions preserved the three-week-old cub perfectly.

Researchers have analyzed mummified remains pulled from Siberia's permafrost in 2020 and determined they belong to a 3-week-old saber-toothed kitten that died at least 35,000 years ago.

Discovered several years ago, this remarkably preserved saber-tooth cub is offering a rare glimpse into its species and life as it existed over 30,000 years ago.

A 35,000-year-old saber-toothed kitten, frozen in the Siberian permafrost, offers unprecedented insights into these Ice Age predators.

For the first time, scientists have recovered the mummified, frozen body of a juvenile saber-toothed cat from the Arctic permafrost in Siberia. Despite being over 35,000 years old, the sub-zero temperatures have kept the specimen in a remarkable state of preservation,
