The wolf pup was found perfectly preserved in permafrost in Yukon, Canada, according to a news release from Des Moines University. The pup was named Zhùr, meaning ‘wolf’ in the Hän language, by the local Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in people. The team s findings were published Monday in the journal Current Biology. She was found in the summer of 2016, in July, by a gold miner in the Yukon. They mine for gold by shooting a water cannon at these giant permafrost cliffs. Instead of gold falling out, this little frozen puppy fell out, said Julie Meachen, an associate professor of anatomy at Des Moines University. Meachen served as the lead author on the paper and co-lead researcher on the wolf mummy project.
