This is the face of an extinct cave lion that roamed the snowy wastes of Siberia more than 10,000 years ago. The cub is one of two found this summer preserved in near-perfect condition in the permafrost of Russia's largest and coldest region. Scientists in the Academy of Sciences of the Sakha Republic, also known as Yakutia, revealed the image today ahead of a major presentation of the remains - seen as a groundbreaking discovery - next month, when initial research findings will also be released.
