Ice Age Horse Skull Discovered in Yukon Mine

Researchers discovered a well-preserved ice age horse skull in a Yukon mine, estimated to be around 30,000 years old. The skull's physical features suggest it was a juvenile male, but precise species identification requires further genetic analysis. The find provides valuable insights into North American horse species during the last ice age.

30,000-Year-Old Mummified Squirrel Discovered in Canada

X-ray scans have revealed a 30,000-year-old mummified ground squirrel from the ice age, found by a gold miner in the Klondike gold fields near Dawson City, Yukon. The frozen hairball was actually a young, curled-up Arctic ground squirrel that likely died in hibernation, possibly during its first year. The Klondike gold fields of the Yukon have been covered in permafrost since the ice age, making the area perfect for preserving creatures that died back then. As global temperatures continue to rise, discoveries like these are likely to become more common.

Gold miner discovers perfectly preserved 30,000-year-old squirrel in frozen fur ball.

A gold miner in the Klondike gold fields near Dawson City, Yukon, found a mummified grapefruit-sized ground squirrel in 2018. X-ray scans revealed that the squirrel is 30,000 years old and likely died during hibernation. The Klondike gold fields have been covered in permafrost since the ice age, making the area perfect for preserving creatures that died back then. Discoveries like these are likely to become more common as global temperatures continue to rise due to human emissions of heat-trapping gases like carbon dioxide and methane, causing the permafrost to thaw and reveal everything from mummified creatures to viruses and anthrax deposits.

30,000-year-old mummified squirrel discovered in Canada

A gold miner in the Yukon discovered a mangled ball of fur that turned out to be a 30,000-year-old mummified ground squirrel from the ice age. X-ray scans revealed that the squirrel was in great condition and likely died during hibernation. The Klondike gold fields of the Yukon have been covered in permafrost since the ice age, making the area perfect for preserving creatures that died back then. Gold miners have previously found a mummified wolf pup and an immaculately preserved baby mammoth.

"30,000-Year-Old Mummified Squirrel Discovered in Canadian Permafrost"

A miner in the Yukon goldfields discovered a Fur Sphere, a mummified 30,000-year-old arctic ground squirrel that died while hibernating. The squirrel was curled up in a fetal position, suggesting it died while hibernating. The Fur Sphere will be displayed at the Yukon Beringia Interpretive Center. Arctic ground squirrels spend seven to eight months of the year hibernating, during which time they adopt the lowest body temperature recorded in any mammal.
