Permafrost mummies provide crucial insights into the physiology and life histories of Pleistocene organisms, due to how well the preservation process keeps the specimens from decomposing. The constant presence of permafrost is able to preserve the soft tissues of organisms through a process similar to freeze-drying. [ 1 ]
Dogor was found in the permafrost near the Indigirka River, north-east of Yakutsk, Sakha Republic in eastern Siberia during the summer of 2018. [2] [3] It is the body of a two-month-old male canine puppy. [4] The body is remarkably well preserved, and its fur, whiskers, nose and teeth remain intact.
Remains attributed to the species display a considerable range of morphological variability. [9] The species had a small body size, with adult individuals estimated to have a body mass of around 300–365 kilograms (661–805 lb), [3] with the mummy of an 8 year old adult male horse (the Selerikan mummy) having a height of 1.35 metres (4 ft 5 in) at the withers.
