The University of Alaska biologists had found plenty of scattered bones over the years, but it wasn’t until this last summer that they found a complete skeleton of a 40,000-year-old steppe bison. Even more exciting is that the bison still had hair and gristle attached…If the bison skull in the image looks gigantic, that’s because it is. The horns on the skull measure 43 inches from tip to tip, compared to the largest of modern bison, which is 27 inches.
