18,000-Year-Old Possible Wolf-Dog Puppy Found Frozen in Siberia

What really blows my mind is how we got from wolf to Toy Poodle.

Here's one that may have gone the other way 'round>>

The Hound of the Baskervilles?

It is really interesting that they buried it on holy ground with presents, even.

The little thing needs a name.

I suggest Peta.

I hope the governments and their laboratories do not experiment with DNA technologies to bring these creatures back. The current ones endangered and benign to the environment I understand.

Apparently the pup was flash frozen. Two reports. The second is a bit more thorough. At some point I think the missing link in humanity will be found. But I think something like that would be quickly confiscated and stashed away by the Smithsonian and that bunch.


Anyway. He was a cute little feller.

The next question is will they sequence its DNA, and if that species is extinct, try to use it's DNA to bring that species back?

I had a neighbor years ago that had a wolf/dog creature. He looked like a large German Shepherd type, but the head was all wolf and was larger than a dog's would be. He was also not very socialized. Of course, they kept him outside all the time, so probably no wonder there.

Yikes. An interesting find of a puppy found frozen in time that may or may not be the missing link in wolf/dog evolution leaves some people worried the outcome will be cloned wolfdogs running wild and killing us all!

No doubt they are Democrats, too.

What does that mean?

Maybe he means after Trump gets reelected, and the dems lose their minds, running around killing people, no longer satisfied with just taking pot shots at us during baseball practices.

Cute puppy

Does he fetch?

 

[whitehall]

18,000 years is around the last ice age and isn't that long ago in geological terms. No missing links here.

Let's clone him, and we'll see.

If only the dogs had know what humans had in store for them.

They would have eaten us on the spot.
