Russian scientists hail discovery of 32,000-year-old sabre-toothed cat cub

Quick Summary:

YAKUTSK, RUSSIA : The sabre-toothed cat cub is almost small enough to hold in one hand, but its discovery after 32,000 years is a momentous event for palaeontologists.

It was around three weeks old when it died in what is now northeastern Russia - and the permafrost has kept it well-preserved ever since.

Scientists from the Academy of Sciences in Yakutia in the Far East say it is a unique find.
