An article in the Express adds: "Due to the freezing conditions over there, with the average temperature ranging from minus 43.6 C (-110.48 F) to minus 35.2 C (-95.36 F) in January, the mummified beast is almost perfectly preserved with fangs and toe nails still intact."
Based on the photos, the animal looks to be a member of the Mustelidae family of carnivorous animals. This individual appears to have had a slim, ferret-like body, four or five digits and perhaps a single claw on each limb and, most distinctively, a bone-crushing jaw full of impressive fangs and sharp teeth.
