Reindeer herders in Russia have found an immaculately preserved carcass of an Ice Age cave bear.

The find, revealed by the melting permafrost, was discovered on the Bolshoy Lyakhovsky Island in northwestern Russia with its teeth and even its nose intact.

A preliminary analysis of the terrifying-looking remains indicated that the adult bear lived 22,000 to 39,500 years ago.

Harsh Russian temperatures in the northern region an account for the incredibly well preserved specimen.


The head of the Ice Age cave bear found on Bolshoy Lyakhovsky Island in an unbelievable state of preservation considering its age.

It is necessary to carry out radiocarbon analysis to determine the precise age of the bear, revealed by melting permafrost.

A preliminary analysis of the terrifying-looking remains indicated that the adult bear lived 22,000 to 39,500 years ago.


The cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) is a prehistoric species or subspecies that lived in Eurasia in the Middle and Late Pleistocene period and became extinct about 15,000 years ago.

The Ice Age cave bear was found on Bolshoy Lyakhovsky Island, or Great Lyakhovsky, the largest of the Lyakhovsky Islands belonging to the New Siberian Islands archipelago between the Laptev Sea and the East Siberian Sea in northern Russia.

Perfectly is a vicious overstatement.

Amazing

Was it preserved by humans or nature did it because the weather is perfect for such.

Hmmmm

I wanted to see 50million years

Let's go

Wonderful

Lies

Chai... This one looks so realistic. Let's see how many years scientists will tag this one.

Explorers plz help us keep a tab on this issue, let's knw what's the outcome of their findings.

.....

Well preserved indeed. Looks like it died some days ago if we ignore the permafrost.

Imagine what they'll find under the ice in Antarctica and the underneath the sands in the Gobi&sahara deserts. History is buried down there.

All I can say is, in climes where education and knowledge of science has profitable and applicable knowledge... Findings like this are usually a feather in the hat of Mother Science.

But o'er here, well.... We have other things to worry about... Superstitions, poverty and shocking-leaders et al

.....

am completely shocked with the way these scientists go just de samma figures say na years...
dem forget to mention 256million years this time

Nmezor:

Your p cought my attention... Hope you understand.

kinda

Our scientists will soon tell us that it is 560 million years

I just hope they don't use the genetic materials to Clone it.

When will explore Naija will discover ours too

If radio carbon dating says it is only thousands of years old, why would they lie?

No be 70 million years??

Ok

It baffles me how these scientists come up with these age though

because it's not dinasaur , they would have mentioned 35 billion years old reindeer

many wonders on this planet.
