Last week, researchers in Russia published a paper on a rare find: a mummified cub, from about 30,000 years ago. The mummy—complete with head, fur, paws, and the upper half of its body—is the first glimpse ever at the external morphology of an extinct cat with no present-day analogs. It was discovered in 2020, frozen in an ice chunk on the Badyarikha River in the far northern Yakutia region of Russia.

Latitude Outdoors has become a well-referenced and utilized brand for the mobile whitetail deer hunter, and it is easy to see why. The brand designs products with action in mind. These guys know what hunters need to optimize time in the field, and they know what extra add-ons will only slow them down. That kind of thinking came together in product form with the new Ranger 11 Pack from Latitude Outdoors.

If there’s a universal truth about hunters, it’s that they can’t help but brag a little—even if it’s about something illegal. Any well-seasoned game warden knows this; and knows that the best place to find a criminal is at the local bar, running his mouth. In south central Montana, a textbook example played out this spring, beginning when a wildlife biologist in Carbon County caught wind of a secondhand story about a guy who captured two bear cubs and staged them for a photo shoot with his son.

Tamara Thomsen has spent three decades diving and documenting shipwrecks in the Great Lakes, the coastal waters off North Carolina, and Canada’s Bay of St. Lawrence. She helped study the Civil War ironclad U.S.S. Monitor in its watery grave off Cape Hatteras in 2000. She also dived on the wreck of the RMS Empress of Ireland, swimming among the skulls and skeletons of crewmen and passengers entombed in the ship since 1914.
