Probably tastes like hamburger when ground up.
But I suggest that you do not order your hamburger rare this time.

Wiki: The steppe bison was over two metres tall and resembled the modern bison species, reaching 900 kg (1984 lbs) in weight. The tips of the horns were a meter apart, the horns themselves being over half a meter long.
Amercican Bison for comparison:
Shoulder height in the species can range from 152 to 186 cm (60 to 73 in). Weight can range from 318 to 907 kg (701 to 2,000 lb)[11] The heaviest wild bull ever recorded weighed 1,270 kg (2,800 lb).

Holocene megafauna extinction is a mystery I would like to try to unravel. The best hypothesis i have heard is a massive solar flare

They must have spent a couple of days making sub rolls big enough for one of those. ;’) Thanks PIF.

What you said reminds me, I should make this a Catastrophism ping, if I haven’t already.

No Helen Thomas photos. Time does heal all wounds.

Google “Richard firestone” with “Younger Dryas Event”

Firestone-West supernova hypothesis does not explain the existence of more than a dozen beryllium-10 peaks seen in the polar ice record, eight of which precede the proposed supernova date. The supernova hypothesis likewise does not appear to match the more gradual rate of megafauna extinction than would be explained by a single supernova event.

Actually Bison like this were found frozen at different times by the inmates of the Stalinist Gulags, however nothing was learned from them because they were immediately devoured by the discoverers.
Tells you something about the conditions eh.I understand that when people tried to break out of a gulag, they used the "sandwich" technique. Two hardened inmates would talk a third, less hardier inmate, into escaping with them. That way they had something to eat on their long and arduous escape route.

Just looked that place up. That is way up north. No wonder he fast froze.
