The Ice Age, which started 2.4 million years ago and continued until 11,500 years ago, caused the living things that lived tens of thousands of years ago to freeze to death. Some of the remains of these creatures have survived to the present day in a highly preserved way.
Recently, a surprising new one has joined these ruins. The Yukon Beringia Interpretive Center in Canada shared the remains of a frozen squirrel 30,000 years ago. The squirrel’s remains were well preserved, with feathers and feet clearly visible.
30,000-year-old squirrel remains discovered in Canada:
The skeleton of this squirrel, which was running around tens of thousands of years ago, was also very well preserved. X-ray images of the squirrel were also shared as follows:
The fact that the squirrel has a shrunken position indicates that it may have died while sleeping. It is presumed that he probably froze to death while hibernating.
Canada’s Yukon region is home to many tens of thousands of years old relics. The remains of a 57 thousand-year-old wolf were also discovered in this region in 2020.
