Eurasian Cave Lions
The frozen bodies of four Eurasian Cave Lion cubs were found in Siberia between 2015 and 2018. The lions are thought to have died between 25,000 and 55,000 years ago at only about two months old. This species of the lion is supposedly among the largest lion types to have existed on Earth.

In the past, only the bones of these Cave Lions had been discovered. However, this time they were fully intact. The lion’s bodies were incredibly well preserved; having been frozen, they maintained their fur and still had blood in their veins and fresh meat on their bones.
