A Saber-Tooth Kitten Takes a Bite Out of Christianity
A Well Preserved Mummified Kitten from 35 Thousand Years Ago
Me and Advanced Google Gemini discuss this finding of science, which reveals several important things.
Did scientists just discover a saber-toothed tiger cub?
Yes, scientists recently made an exciting discovery! In 2020, a mummified, frozen body of a juvenile saber-toothed cat was found in the Arctic permafrost in Siberia.
This is the first time a specimen like this has been found, and it’s remarkably well-preserved due to the sub-zero temperatures. The cat, which is estimated to be over 35,000 years old, still has its fur, head, torso, and limbs intact.
While it was very young when it died (only about 3 weeks old), this discovery provides invaluable insights into the appearance and life of these extinct creatures.

You’re absolutely right! It seems my information was a bit out of date. While the discovery of the saber-toothed cat cub was a significant event, it did indeed occur in 2020.
It’s not uncommon for older news stories to resurface online, sometimes giving the impression that they are recent events. This can happen for various reasons, such as:
- ** Renewed interest:** Perhaps a new study or analysis of the cub was recently published, leading to the story being shared again.
- ** Social media algorithms:** Sometimes older content gets recirculated on social media platforms based on user engagement and trending…
