Unexpected discovery of a 55,000-year-old lion mummy in Siberia

The intact Siberian lion body 55,000 years old died when only one to two days old, according to researchers' new findings.

The intact lion car was found last month.

According to the Daily Star, last month, researchers discovered frozen young carcasses frozen by the river in Siberia. Lion corpses are well preserved to the point that they are nearly intact after 55,000 years.

Researchers hope that in the young lion's stomach there are still traces of breast milk, helping to better understand the diet of this extinct lion.

But according to the latest finding, the young lion seems to have died before he had a chance to feed his mother. This means that young lions are abandoned or their mothers die soon after the lion is born.

The traces of researchers found around the young carcass suggest that this prehistoric creature was more likely to be buried alive, according to Dr. Albert Protopopov, the study author.

Scientists are now looking to revive this extinct lion.

'At first, we thought young lions were about 2-3 weeks old,' said Protopopov. 'But the new trace shows it's only 1-2 days old.'

Dr. Protopopov said the lion's stomach was completely empty when he died. Researchers hope the intact young lion mummy found last month will help revive the extinct creature.

An Eurasian lion (Eurasian) mature can be about 1.2m high, 2m long. They usually hunt large herbivores, such as horses, reindeer, deer, bison, and even immature mammoth elephants.

It is unclear why these lions are extinct, but experts believe that the cause may be due to the reduced number of bears and deer in the area, making them no longer able to find food.
