The fascinating state of the puppy, named Zhùr by local Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in people, gave researchers a wealth of ideas and information they recorded in new research
Analysis and studies resulted in this puppy being 7 weeks old at the time of his death and may have died due to the demolition of his burrow and was quickly buried in frozen mud. As for her lifestyle, she relied on fish from nearby rivers, which are the ancestors of the wolfs.
