Still waiting for them to pull a frozen female out of Siberia.
With viable ova.
Read estimates there are still 10,000 frozen up there, but who knows.
My wife and I visited this museum/dig about 10 years ago while on a tour of the Black Hills. It was definitely one of the highlights of the trip and I’d love to go back again to see how far down they’ve gone.
The mammoths weren’t the only ones to meet their demise in the hot springs. There were all sorts of other mammal bones on display including bears. I guess the warmth of the hot springs during the cold periods was just too hard to resist. The pool was easy to get in but the steep sides made it difficult or impossible to get out of for a lot of different species.
Are the natives still eating the ones they find or are they now protected?
