The 57,000-year-old wolf is completely preserved in the Pappa Permafrost, finally unlocking its secrets after finding out about four years ago.
According to a study published in Current Biology, the gray wolf, known locally as venom, was found near Dawson City, Yukon, Canada. It is believed that the female cub of the week was in her ass when she died, the study’s lead author Julie Mitchell said in a statement.
“We think she was on the hunt and Dan died instantly from the crash,” Michene said. “Our data show that she doesn’t starve and she was about 7 weeks old when she died, so we feel a little better knowing that the poor little girl won’t suffer for too long.”

The researchers examined the wolf puppies by a variety of methods, including radiocarbon dating, DNA sampling, and oxygen isotope analysis to confirm the mammalian death. The researchers also took X-rays of her teeth and bones to confirm her age.
Michene added that the wolf pappa is “the most complete wolf mummy ever found”, the only thing missing missing is that it has eyes.

“And the fact that she’s perfect so allowed us to do many lines of investigation on her to fundamentally rebuild her life.”

The researchers were also able to analyze the baby’s diet, which was influenced by where he lived.
“Usually when you think of wolves in the Ice Age, you think of them eating bison or musk oxen or other large animals on the ground.” “One thing that surprised us was that it ate aquatic resources, especially salmon.”

The frozen wolf pup is of greater importance because it was discovered in North America, not in Russia or Siberia, where others have been found, including one found in June 2019.

“We were asked why he was the only wolf, and what happened to his mom or siblings,” Michelle said. “It could be that she was the only pappal. Or the other wolves weren’t in the cave during the fall. Unfortunately, we’ll never know.”
