A mangled lump of flesh and fur found by gold miners in the permafrost turned out to be an unfortunate Arctic ground squirrel, that apparently did not survive hibernation 30,000 years ago.
It looks just the same as the current ground squirrels, but it would be interesting to extract some DNA and do some comparisons to see if the species is static or if it has changed in interesting ways.
But the poor little thing.
