Tamara Jones+FollowFrozen Wolf Pup’s Last Meal Solves Ice Age MysteryA 14,000-year-old wolf pup, perfectly preserved in Siberian permafrost, just helped scientists crack the case of the woolly rhino’s extinction. Turns out, the pup’s final snack was a chunk of woolly rhino—DNA and all! By sequencing the rhino remains from the pup’s stomach, researchers found the species was thriving until a sudden climate shift wiped them out, not humans. Who knew a wolf’s last meal could rewrite history? #Science #IceAgeMystery #WoollyRhino20Share
martinezlaura+FollowWolf Cub’s Last Meal Solves Rhino MysteryGet this: scientists sequenced DNA from a 14,400-year-old wolf cub’s stomach and found its last snack was woolly rhino—right before those rhinos vanished. Turns out, the rhinos weren’t slowly dying out from inbreeding or genetic issues. They were healthy until, bam, something (probably rapid climate change) wiped them out fast. It’s wild how a wolf’s dinner just rewrote extinction history! #Science #IceAgeMystery #WoollyRhino10Share
