How did the leopard take the form of a mummy?

Scientists say that the eyes of cheetahs are blurry, their limbs are shriveled, and their bodies look like dried peels. Scientists believe that the natural mummification of these leopards has happened due to the very dry environment and constant temperature of the caves. This research has been published in Communications Earth and Environment Journal. But, scientists are still not completely clear as to how mummification of cheetahs occurred on such a large scale or why such large numbers of cheetahs were present in these caves.
