First time species has been discovered in AsiaThe mummified remains included the head, partial pelvic bones, and the femur and shin bones. These were found in the ice, along with the front part of the cub’s body. They say the finding is significant because it’s the second time Homotherium latidens has been identified in the Late Pleistocene of Eurasia and the first time it’s been discovered in Asia. Cold-adapted featuresThe paper says the animal had several features that made it well-adapted to freezing temperatures including a muscular neck, long forelimbs and rounded paws.
