The mummy of a three week old saber tooth kitten was found in 2020, frozen in the Siberian permafrost. This find just hit the news yesterday. In this video above, a real paleontologist gives us some background on Homotherium, which did live here in the U.S., among other places around the world. But the mummified kitten was a Homotherium, not the more famous Smilodon, the saber tooth cat with the 9 inch canine teeth. According to this video, Homotherium were part cat-like and part dog-like, and built for distance running. Check out the video for more details on this extinct animal. I believe this is the first mummified saber toothed cat ever found, which is amazing.
