Researchers have pulled the mummy of a newborn saber-toothed cat that died at least 35,000 years ago from Siberia's permafrost — and the kitten still has its whiskers and claws attached.
A new analysis of the kitten's stunningly-preserved head and upper body shows it was just 3 weeks old when it died in what is now Russia's northeastern Sakha Republic, also known as Yakutia. Scientists found pelvic bones, a femur and shin bones encased in a block of ice together with the mummy. The circumstances of the animal's death are unknown.
