It will be big but get a look at the paws of a snow leopard's paws some time. Big feet are better in the snow. They were also likely to be very strong animals. They would be hunting animals of a significant size running through the snow.
@@kensmith5694 I was thinking I'd want to see the paws compared to a Canadian Lynx! Snow leopards would also be neat. Gotta have snowshoes on. I'll bet they had a lot of undercoat, too, which would make the coat extra soft - especially on a cub.
Between the lips and the longer tufts of fur around the corner of the mouth, even on such a small cub, it really does seem like the covered teeth hypothesis is more likely in the living animal as adults.
They didn't live in an environment with much snow or particularly cold. Common misconception. Siberia and Alaska were relatively warm and well forested with grassy steppes where herds of mammoth and rhino grazed. It was the catastrophic sudden drop in temperatures combined with massive flooding that killed and preserved these animals in the mud and silt that has turned to permafrost.
@@martinharris5017 Thats a good point but unless this cub was melanistic, i would have expected spots and stripes to blend into a forested environment. Not just that you forget its paws were already adapted to moving in deep snow. that doesn't happen overnight and clearly this cat and its parents were adapted to living in deep snow. plus the fur was quite thick. i did expect a pale color (light tan to white, maybe more like a manul/ snow leopard and in between. )To summarize, no this was adapted to deep cold and snow. the euresian steppe had grassland but which part? yakutia and beringia had musk ox, yak and reindeer (their prey established from isotope analysis) which are cold climate animals. the homotheres from central euresia targeted horses which were in warmer areas.
@@kensmith5694 Interestingly polar bears are white and so are artic hares. Would expect a saber tooth to be very easy to spot in an icy wintery landscape looking so vibrant orangey brown.
i got CHILLS with the mention of a frozen neanderthal. As horrifying as it is that the permafrost is melting at this rate, that would be an amazing discovery.
VICE did a video a couple years ago about the permafrost mining in Siberia, they're mostly looking for mammoth tusks to sell to China for ivory carvings while stuff like this is more or less constantly weathering out of the permafrost and generally gets tossed aside to rot. Thankfully a few things have been preserved but no one is getting paid to do that unfortunately and the working conditions are about as rough as it gets. Whoever saved this lion cub from the tailings pile deserves a merit badge.

Important to note, that the fur could've been darker in color in life, because of how melanin color degrades over time. I imagine they might have looked much like a grizzzly bear's fur in life
The paws shown very much resemble those of the Canada Lynx, which can better walk on snow with them. It's also a distinguishing feature of the Canada Lynx that it has extra-long hairs on its lower cheeks, creating a sort of "ruff" --- quite similar to what you can see on this cute little critter. The arctic is full of animals that are unbelievably cute in childhood. Nothing could be cuter than a polar bear cub ---- until it grows into something the size of a truck that can move as fast as a truck and can slash you into hamburger with a casual swipe of the paw.
OMG! What an amazing discovery! Now we know what color the fur is! One day hopefully there will be a computer program that can accurately make an adult model off this cub.
I absolutely love your presentation do each of your episode that you produce. And I have noticed that your hair and makeup have been done a little bit different.

While the climate crisis causing the permafrost to melt is always tragic, finding more mummies like this as a result really is an incredible silver lining. This little cub died 35,000 years ago and became such a landmark and important individual all this time later. Edit: forgot to add, another excellent video!

This is a good example with a dense info-packed video on this special find interspersed with the very relateable "TINY CAT!!". lol
@@louisholmes6961They didn't say that it was. But increasing permafrost melt *will* likely directly result in increasing discoveries. I swear people just intentionally misrepresent what people say just to get into arugments and it's exausting.
It already exists in that part of Siberia where they find these specimens. So far they are only introducing proxy species that are currently alive such as horses, camels, bison, musk ox, and reindeer. Once the herbivores become numbers enough they will introduce Tigers. Also when they clone the Mammoth it will be released in that park.

Wonderful find. A great example of divergent evolution compared to smilodon. So many evironmental adaptations in the Northern relative. Very much yes to more like this.
Prehistoric toe beans?! 🐾🧡 Those little fur tufts on the chin were the first thing I noticed, and now I'm wondering whether fur/whiskers could have offered protection & some insulation for those long canines once they extended past their lower jaw... it would make sense to grow highly sensitive whiskers around those exposed teeth, giving Homotherium additional sensory info to ensure it didn't snag & break the tips of the canines. I'd love to see a comparison with a Clouded Leopard & Jaguar cub as they have more morphological similarities with these sabre-tooth species than modern lions. Clouded leopards have the largest canines & widest gape of extant species (over 90 degrees!), and are often compared with sabre-toothed species... while jaguars have that stockier build, rounder skull, smaller ears. Such an exciting find & _absolutely_ worth having it's own dedicated 7DOS video! 👍
To me it's one of the the coolest paleontological discoveries of my life time. Sure, small dinosaur tail with feathers preserved in amber -Very cool. That perfectly preserved Borealopelta fossil -Very very cool. But getting a look at an actual sabretoothed cat? With skin and fur and everything? That's up there.
Noooo I kinda feel sorry for it :( amazing discovery or not all I can see is a tiny baby saberkitty who died all alone in the cold in a winter den somewhere. Poor little guy 😢

This is such an incredible discovery, it seems like we're discovering an increasing amount of mummified mammals. I can't wait to see what the future holds in terms of these findings.
@@hub6483 not only that, with dna analysis we could knew about population size, migration, diseases they carried and various unique adaptations as well
@@TheVillainInGlasses There was DNA analysis on a femur recovered in the yukon area. i am not sure how much organic material remained but the findings were beyond remarkable. social behavior, diurnal, high aerobic capacity, excellent vision and very high genetic diversity which meant it was extremely widespread and successful.
Great video! Thanks for the in depth coverage. I read that the pelvis and other parts were also recovered but frozen in ice? Maybe an update video when we get info about the rest of the cub.

I am following you from France and I wanted to thank you for the work all of you have been doing to share with us your passion in paleontology! I cannot wait for hearing more about it in the next analysis they will publish on this specimen. And just a technical question: because it is a fossilized cub we cannot directly know what it would have looked like if it had grown up, but as it is so well preserved couldn't we collect some DNA from it and find in the genes some answers ? Like for example knowing if its fangs were covered by its lips or not.
Never thought we'd ever get a sabre-tooth ice mummy, but I'm beyond chuffed to bare witness to it in my lifetime.

easily fooled sheep believe everything they see and hear from the mainstream narrative
Just so you know this was found in 2020. This isnt new.
i waited 20 years for this
@Alexandros.Mograine true, but this is the first time many are seeing it.
A kitten with two and a half inch wide paws! It's going to be bloody enormous!
Homotherium could get quite large, up to lion-sized in the largest specimens.
They were slightly taller than lions I believe, but a bit shorter in length
It will be big but get a look at the paws of a snow leopard's paws some time. Big feet are better in the snow. They were also likely to be very strong animals. They would be hunting animals of a significant size running through the snow.

“Going”
Between the lips and the longer tufts of fur around the corner of the mouth, even on such a small cub, it really does seem like the covered teeth hypothesis is more likely in the living animal as adults.
I wonder if the long hairs at the bottom of the jaw could indicate a beard as a feature in adult homotherium!
I don’t think I’d want my big ass teeth constantly exposed on a -20 degree day. I mean, I’m in pain after eating ice cream!
@OlessanYT makes more sense on something like this species which had smaller sabres than something like a Smilodon.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192Tell that to walruses. Also, Africans have a gene that makes them not feel icy teeth.
Cubs do not have protruding teeth because that would make giving birth difficult and potentially lethal.
Poor little kitten, but it's amazing we get such a preserved specimen.
Covered teeth is a good idea in a cold climate.
The larger more rounded foot shape is also a good thing for snow.
The comparatively large brain area makes me think it was to trap heat, because you wouldn't want your brain to freeze.
