Scientists discovered that the 14,000-year-old puppy was so intact that there was still undigested food in the abdomen

Currently, experts still do not know if this animal is a dog or a wolf. However, they can be sure that he died soon after eating.

“In DNA testing, the fur in the abdomen does not look like a cave lion.” “Love Dalen, professor of evolutionary genetics at the Center for Paleontology, the link between Stockholm University and the Swedish Museum of Natural History,” said.

“Based on the database and DNA from all mammalian mitochondria, we believe this is the fur of the fluffy rhino.” Professor Dalen told CNN, the expert added that he had never heard or found tissue fragments inside an Ice Age predator.

After performing a carbon dating, experts discovered that it was rhino skin dating from 14,400 years ago. “With this dog, as far as we know, he’s over 14,000 years old. So it’s very likely that he ate one of the last fluffy rhinos in the world. Mr Dalen said. Currently, scientists still do not know how the dog can eat rhino.
Center of Paleontology researcher Edana Lord, who co-authored the study of the fluffy rhino’s extinction, told CNN that the animal was roughly the same size as today’s white rhino. to speculate that the dog can hardly defeat the rhino on his own. In addition, the researchers also found that the puppies died shortly after eating rhino meat.

“The puppies must be dead soon after eating rhino meat. The food is still not fully digested. – said Mr Dalen. Currently, experts still don’t know if this puppy is a dog or a wolf.

Professor Dalen said that if it was a wolf, this animal could have missed the dead rhino or enjoyed the rest after being eaten by someone else. And while “fighting”, the unlucky kid met the mother rhino.
