Cave bear. A beautifully preserved ancient cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) has been uncovered by the melting permafrost on Siberia’s Lyakhovsky Islands. The remains were found by reindeer herders and include soft tissues and internal organs. An initial analysis suggests the bear is at least 22,000 years old. “This find of great importance to the whole world,” said Lena Grigorieva, a palaeontologist at North-Eastern Federal University in Yakutsk, Russia, in a statement. Until now, only the skulls and bones of cave bears have been found, and scientists are eager to study the specimen. The bodies of several ancient animals, including cave lions (Panthera spelaea), woolly mammoths (Mammuthus primigenius) and woolly rhinos (Coelodonta antiquitatis) have been discovered in the past decade as Siberia’s permafrost thaws.
