Fossil teeth reveal ancient hyenas in the Arctic
A new study reports that two enigmatic fossil teeth found in Yukon Territory in Canada belonged to Chasmaporthetes, making the teeth the first known fossils of hyenas found in the Arctic. This ice age fossil tooth — tucked away for years in the collections of the Canadian Museum of Nature — belonged to the ‘running hyena’ Chasmaporthetes, according to a new University at Buffalo-led study.
