MessageToEagle.com – A strange mummified creature has been found in Yakutia, also known as the Sakha Republic, Russia. The ancient creature has not yet been identified. Found by diamond miners it has been referred to as a mummy monster, but it is very possible it is a previously unknown species of dinosaur.

The animal was found in diamondiferous sands in the town which date from the Mesozoic Era from about 252 to 66 million years ago.

One theory is a wolverine, a carnivorous mammal that resembles a small bear.

A new species of dinosaur with odd sail-like structure on its back was discovered in Spain.
