A group of researchers has discovered two cave lion in the yakutia, frozen from the time of the ice age. It is reported by CNN.
The bodies of animals were among the most best discovery, which were found among other prehistoric mammals: wool, teeth and mustache leveled. “Maybe they died in a landslide or fell into a crack in permafrost in permafrost due to seasonal melting and freezing, large cracks are often formed,” said Professor Love Dalien.
Scientists believe that animals called Boris and Sparta walked along the steppe on the territory of the current Eastern Russia thousand years ago. Judging by age, at that time they were about one or two months.
Earlier in Canada found an estimated imprint of the most ancient multicellular. They were sponges with a protein skeleton. The age of findings is about 890 million years. This suggests that a multicellular life appeared for 350 million years to the Cambrian explosion – the sudden appearance of various forms of complex living organisms 550 million years ago.
