Cat found in Minnesota cave



A saber-tooth cat, no less.

A man in southern Minnesota was exploring a cave on his property. In an effort to reach another passage he began clearing sediment and encountered bones. The bones were of a stag moose and a saber-tooth cat. Both are the first examples of their kind ever to be found in MN. Radiocarbon dating indicates the cat skull is 22,500 years old, which would correspond to the last period of glaciation. LINK
