"Leg bone from the now extinct large Bison priscus. The hole is where a piece of bone was removed for radio-carbon dating. This bison roamed the Peace River region around 11,000 years ago before being replaced by the ancestors of modern bison coming in from the south."

Bison priscus

[sixth-extinction]

In 1979, miners accidentally uncovered the mummified remains of a steppe bison (Bison priscus) which had been preserved in permafrost near Fairbanks, Alaska.

The specimen was nicknamed “Blue Babe” due to its blue sheen, and was estimated to be about 36,000 years old. Analysis of the remains determined that Blue Babe was male, and that he was killed by an American lion (Panthera leo atrox).

With the help of a taxidermist, Blue Babe’s hide was tanned and draped over a plaster model, which is displayed at the University of Alaska Museum of the North.
