CNN —Woolly mammoths, giant sloths and saber-toothed cats were a fact of life for early humans. Fantastic creaturesScientists compared the mummified saber-toothed baby cat (top) with a modern lion cub (bottom). courtesy Prof. Alexey V. LopatinPaleontologists excavating in Russia’s Yakutia region uncovered the first known mummy of a saber-toothed cat. The well-preserved remains, uncovered in Siberian permafrost, are nearly intact, including surprisingly soft fur and even the “toe beans” — as cat lovers call feline footpads — on its front paws. The red supergiant star, called WOH G64, is about 160,000 light-years from Earth in the Large Magellanic Cloud, which orbits the Milky Way.

☆ Sabre-toothed ‘kitten’ mummy unearthed in Siberia is first of its kind
  + stars: | 2024-11-18 | by ( Mindy Weisberger | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
CNN —A mummified ice age cub from Siberia is the first known mummy of a sabre-toothed cat, and its discovery is generating ripples of excitement among paleontologists. A, B and C reveal views of the mummified Homotherium latidens specimen: A is a thumb claw; B a second digit claw; and С a plantar view. However, the mummy also showed that sabre-toothed cubs differed dramatically from modern lion cubs of a similar age, Lopatin said. Its coat was darker, and its ears were smaller than those of lion cubs; it had longer forelimbs, a larger mouth opening and a more massive neck. Its paw is also more circular than that of a lion cub; in fact, its shape more closely resembles the paw of a bear, Tseng added.
