MSN News published an article on October 27, 2015 about extinct lion cubs being discovered in Siberian permafrost. The article says:

“Two extinct cave lion cubs were discovered in permafrost in northeastern Siberia, a ‘sensational’ and unprecedented find according to The Siberian Times. The cubs are believed to be at least 10,000 years old, though they might be even older, and were found almost perfectly preserved thanks to the permafrost.

 

The region where the cubs were discovered, the Sakha Republic, has yielded discoveries before, including woolly mammoths, woolly rhinoceros, bison, and horses. The remains of the lions are the most complete specimens of their kind ever discovered, according to researchers involved.

 

Cave lions lived during the Middle to Late Pleistocene eras in Eurasia, the British Isles, to the far east of Russia, and into Alaska and northwestern Canada. Their extinction remains something of a mystery because they had few predators and, due to their smaller size, they wouldn’t get trapped in bogs like woolly mammoths and rhinos. One theory is that their extinction might have been due to a decline in prey. By studying the cubs, scientists hope to reach firmer conclusions.”

Apparently, this is another classic case of ancient animals being apparently quick-frozen by the global flood of Noah’s day. It’s only a “mystery” to those who are either ignorant of, or deny, the global deluge. Of course, the best proof of the global flood is because the Bible tells us it really happened.

“Higher and higher on the earth the waters swelled, until all the highest mountains mountains under the heavens were submerged. The waters swelled fifteen cubits higher than the submerged mountains. All creatures that moved on earth perished: birds tame animals, wild animals, and all that teemed on the earth, as well as all humankind” (Genesis 7:19-21 NAB). 

This  historical account of the global flood in Genesis is confirmed by Jesus Christ and the apostle Peter (Matthew 24:37-39; Luke 17:26,27; 2 Peter 3:5-7). This discovery of the extinct cave lion cubs in Siberia  appears to be another of the many thousands of pieces of evidence that continue to mount up daily in confirmation of the Bible’s authenticity, which is is just what we would expect from a book authored by the Almighty God Himself (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
