Mummified saber-toothed cat cub found in Siberian permafrost.

Researchers identified it as Homotherium latidens, also known as the scimitar-tootshed cat.

Scientists hope to unlock its DNA - a genetic key that might open new chapters in our understanding of Ice Age ecosystems.

The Homotherium mummies are still clad in their Pleistocene fur.

The find is one of the most exciting moments of paleontologists' careers.

As the ice continues to melt, it's anyone’s guess what might come next.

The findings appeared in the journal Scientific Reports .
