Saber-Toothed Kitten Preserved for 37,000 Years Found in Siberian Ice
A saber-toothed kitten, frozen in Siberian permafrost for 37,000 years, has provided an unprecedented look at the extinct predator Homotherium latidens. Unearthed near the Arctic Circle, the well-preserved cub retains soft brown fur, intact whiskers, sharp claws, and footpads, offering unique insights into its anatomy. Radiocarbon dating revealed t...

Siberian Craters Explained: Thawing Permafrost and Methane Gas Trigger Explosive Craters
Researchers have revealed the cause behind the enormous craters found in Siberia's permafrost, linking them to thawing conditions and explosive methane gas releases. As the surface melts, water seeps into ancient cryopegs, pockets of salty water trapped beneath the permafrost. The resulting pressure build-up causes cracks to form, leading to explos...

Siberian Crater’s Mysterious Growth Could Be Due to Methane Gas, Scientists Find
In Siberia, a massive crater emerged explosively in the tundra, sending ice and rock hundreds of feet away and creating a large circular scar. This event marked the 17th crater discovered in the Yamal and Gyda peninsulas since 2013, attracting significant scientific interest. The craters are believed to be linked to climate change, with modern tool...
