Recent Discoveries in Siberia Confused Scientists. What Did They Find?

A unique find was discovered in the permafrost of Siberia. Meet Sparta, a lion cub. It’s the best-preserved frozen specimen from the last Ice Age ever found. Lions usually sleep twenty hours a day, but this lion cub took a twenty-eight-thousand-year nap. Despite this, it has well-preserved fur, internal organs, skeleton, and even whiskers. But most importantly, the cub may still hold some of its mother’s milk inside it. Thanks to it, scientists will be able to determine what the lion cub’s mother used to feed on.
For many years, the information concerning what lions could eat under the harsh Siberian conditions remained a mystery. But there’s a downside to such finds. Exploring the ice mountains of Siberia, scientists can encounter not only perfectly preserved creatures but also perfectly preserved viruses. And the worst part is that, unlike a lion cub, viruses can recover on their own.

In this video, you'll find out: will we be able to see a living mammoth? What kind of menace has the Siberian freezer kept for us for years? And should we oppose the research missions to Siberia?
