Sasha, a 34,000-year-old baby woolly rhino found preserved in the Siberian permafrost.

Today I was researching about some Ice Age Extinct Species and came across Sasha, the Woolly Rhino. It is a real, frozen baby woolly rhino that lived and breathed 34,000 years ago.

She was found entirely by accident in Siberia by an Hunter back in 2014. It turns out she is the only baby woolly rhino mummy that has ever been discovered in human history, which is absolutely wild.

Finally watched this iconic scene and It's really Heart Breaking.

I finally got around to watching this part and It's am pure emotional scene. It’s crazy how Akaza went from being the guy we all completely hated for what he did to Rengoku, to having arguably the most tragic and beautifully written backstory in the entire series.

​Seeing Hakuji and Koyuki under the fireworks, only for it to end in absolute despair... and then that final reunion where she reaches out to him as a demon? Ufotable honestly cooked so hard with the animation, the voice and the music. It was just a masterpiece.

One of the most breathtaking and extraordinary real fossils in the world's specimen.

Zhùr, a 57,000-year-old gray wolf pup found in the Canadian permafrost

I Found this picture while reading up on permafrost discoveries today. It’s an actual 57,000-year-old gray wolf pup, not a museum replica.

She was discovered back in 2016 by a gold miner in the Yukon who was clearing mud with a water cannon. The local Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in First Nation named her Zhùr, which just means "wolf" in their language.

The most interesting part I found out is that Researchers think her den collapsed when she was about 7 weeks old, burying her instantly protecting her from Scavengers. She's the most complete wolf mummy ever found still date.

Konark Sun Temple, Odisha 🇮🇳

Captured some iconic shots recently at the Konark Sun Temple. The craftsmanship is absolute insanity. The temple is the pinnacle of the Kalinga school of architecture, and its brilliance really lies in its ambition and structural engineering.

​But honestly, the most insane part I found is the carvings and designs on the walls. The patience and talent it took is unmatchable—the craftsmanship is absolute insanity. Look at the sheer density of it; literally every single square foot is packed with detail. You've got all these individual figures like dancers, musicians, deities and each one is perfectly framed in its own little carved alcove.

So I ran across these pictures and couldn't look away. It's a whole, mummified woolly rhino calf found in the Siberian permafrost. The details are mind-blowing— The facial features, the structure of its legs, it's all there.

Researchers are calling this discovery, found in the Yakutia region of Russia, an almost unique find due to its near-perfect preservation. They estimate the calf was about 3 or 4 years old when it died, and it’s been frozen in the permafrost for roughly 32,000 to 39,000 years. It froze almost immediately, keeping not only the reddish-brown fur but also soft tissues, internal organs, and even its nasal horn completely intact.

Duck-billed Dinosaur - Gryposaurus was a large hadrosaurid, or duck-billed dinosaur, that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 80 to 75 million years ago.

The genus name means "curved lizard," referring to the distinctive arching nasal hump on its snout, which is often described as resembling a Roman nose.

This specific skeleton is located at the Natural History Museum of Utah.

Like other hadrosaurs, Gryposaurus was a herbivore with a complex dental battery used to grind tough vegetation.
