Loving my Oldies Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 How exciting this must be for scientists !! It was fascinating and exciting enough to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandgrubber Posted November 29, 2019 Author Share Posted November 29, 2019 I found this fascinating, but can't figure out how a 2 month old pup got frozen. Wolves and presumably proto dogs whelp in the spring. So 2 months old should be high summer. Not the most likely time to get encased in ice. Even in an ice age.

cannibalgoldfish Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Weather was different/colder at that time or place or, like now, pup was born very late in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have them now so I’m sure they occurred back then too. I was snowed in for 3 days in the High Country at the height of summer. It happens.
