Abstract

Here, we present a detailed description of a unique find – a subfossilized brown bear (Ursus arctos L., 1758) that has been preserved in permafrost. The well-preserved carcass is dated to approximately 3.5 kilo years old (Kya). The results of classical morphological, computed tomography, and ancient DNA analyses of this Holocene brown bear mummy are discussed in this study.
