I would never do that to you.

Can we please have an understanding that you won't go through my things?

And some parents will balk at that, right?

But you can at least make the request.

I am always happy to come back and talk about science.

Yeah, this is the near past.

You know, this animal seemed to have gone extinct around 14,000 years ago.

So this is like during Ice Age times.

It's during like mammoth, like woolly mammoth times and like, you know, the saber-toothed cat times.

You know, this is when the animal was living, but it's no longer now.

Walking around.

Related to the modern day rhinos, but, you know, slightly different.

Yeah, well, I mean, you know, they all have their various uses.

The question, though, is... So it's an extinct animal, and the question is, when did it go extinct and why did it go extinct?

And how do you answer these questions when it happened before we had recorded history?

Humans were around, but, you know, we weren't writing down...

things so detailed on why things would be going extinct as we do today.

Luckily, there's ways you can get at this information.

In this case, it was a wolf cub that had eaten the flesh of a woolly rhino at some point and then died very quickly thereafter.

And it was preserved in the permafrost in Tumat, Siberia.
