Not only it’s brain, but it’s tongue, ears, fangs, and hair! The preservation of soft tissues of any specimen is a rare find and this discovery will provide mountains of data for scientists to analyze.
The head was found in the Siberian permafrost in 2018 and is from a now-extinct subspecies of wolf which was ~25% larger than today’s wolf species. It was alive during the ice age and was 2-4 years old when it died.
The discovery was announced during a special exhibition at a museum in Japan called “The Mammoth.”
