The Tip-Tugai Cave (52°59'28.6″ N, 57°00'22.3″ E) is described as a new site with cave hyena Crocuta spelaea fossils. The bone-bearing layer was dated to marine isotope stage (MIS) 3 based on the species composition of the fauna of large and small mammals. Finds of abundant remains of cave hyenas of different ages and bones of large herbivores with hyena gnaw marks indicated that the Tip-Tugai Cave was used as a hyena den in the Late Pleistocene. This is the first cave hyena den described in the Urals.
Tip-Tugai 洞穴（52°59'28.6″N，57°00'22.3″E）被描述为一个拥有洞穴鬣狗（Crocuta spelaea）化石的新遗址。根据大型和小型哺乳动物动物群的物种组成，含骨层被定年为海洋同位素阶段 (MIS) 3。大量不同年龄的洞穴鬣狗遗骸和带有鬣狗啃咬痕迹的大型草食动物骨骼的发现表明，Tip-Tugai 洞穴在晚更新世曾被用作鬣狗的巢穴。这是在乌拉尔山脉首次描述的洞穴鬣狗巢穴。
