“…Figure 1d). The few short reports of the presence of those extinct spotted hyenas are from nine caves of the Ural (Baryshnikov & Vereshchagin, 1996), four caves in the Altai, and three caves of Far East Russia including the best-known Geographic Society Cave (Baryshnikov & Vereshchagin, 1996;Turner et al, 2001;Turner, 2010;Baryshnikov, 2014;Kalmykov & Kobylkin, 2017) (Table 1, Figure 1d).

The "IceAgeSafari landscape" of Siberia is a thermokarstified permafrost in north-eastern Russia (Figure 1a) (Anisimov & Nelson, 1996;Séjourné et al., 2015). The region of Yakutia became very famous since 1799 by the frozen Adam's mammoth discovery, Ice Age megafauna skeletons, large amounts of well-preserved bones (Figure 1b) and its traded mammoth ivory (Popatova et al., 2018). Most spectacular are icy carcasses (frozen mummies) or partly complete skeletons of extinct Ice Age animals that have been discovered mainly along with the Siberian arctic coast or river terrace melting ice (Lazarev, 2008;Popatova et al., 2018) (Figure 1b). This potential UNESCO natural world heritage region and its extinct mammoth steppe megafauna are one newer research focus internationally with rising amounts of discoveries of frozen mammoths, rhinos, bison, horses and rare predators (

The results of studying 562 bone remains of Crocuta spelaea (Goldfuss, 1823) from 12 cave sites in Khakassia and Altai and 4 alluvial sites in the upper Ob River are presented. In the Fanatics cave in Khakassia, 3 almost complete skeletons of cave hyenas and one partially preserved were found. In this trap cave, 37–42 thousand years ago, hyenas died falling into a deep karst well. Morphometric analysis of the skulls and bones of the postcranial skeleton showed that the cave hyenas of the Late Pleistocene of southern Western Siberia did not differ in body size from the hyenas of Western Europe. In the alluvial localities of the Upper Ob region, the remains of C. spelaea are extremely rare, averaging 0.07% of the number of megafauna remains, which is several times less than that of the cave lion. In the Altai and Khakassia mountains, the relative abundance of cave hyenas may not have been inferior to that of Panthera leo spelaea (Goldfuss, 1810). During the glaciation periods, when cold and arid mountain-steppe landscapes dominated here, inhabited by diverse and numerous megafauna, the abundance of C. spelaea was the highest. During the interglacial period, against the background of widespread forest vegetation, the abundance of herd-hoofed animals decreased, which led to a several-fold decrease in the number of cave hyena populations. The most recent remains of C. spelaea from the Chik River are dated to the age of 33.4 thousand years ago.
