Alaska's first full mammoth skeleton may be lurking under Arctic lake. When an aquatic ecologist was surveying shallow lakes in Northwest Alaska three years ago, she and the pilot who traveled with her came upon an unusual sight in the treeless Arctic region: a pair of terns that kept flying around and perching on what appeared to be a log sticking out of a muddy area. The protruding object, it turns out, was no log. It was the large and well-preserved leg bone of a woolly mammoth. Right by it was another bone, perfectly articulated, that was clearly from the same leg.
“It was like the mammoth just (lay) over there,” said Amy Larsen, the National Park Service ecologist surveying the site in Bering Land Bridge National Preserve.

Turns out that was another myth (along with global warming).
I should have known; after all, I am skeptoid
Lurkers can be good. But they won’t say anything about it.
Is your name Manny?
I think we need to clone dozens of these creatures and release them in the epicenter of the next Ferguson or Baltimore.
When Quinn the Eskimo gets there, everybody’s gonna jump for joy.
But this was a boney and not meaty creature, so the joy will be muted.
Sunken mammoth ping.
I got a girl named Boney Maroney
She’s as skinny as a stick of macaroni
You always see her dancing with her blue jeans on
Yeah she ain’t no fat, just skin and bones.
There may also be full unicorn skeletons too.
A hank of hair and a piece of bone,
She’s my wooley Honeycomb.
Her father was Fuzzy Wuzzy,
A sloth-like bear.
But Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair.
Thus, Father Fuzzy Wuzzy
Wasn’t really fuzzy,
Was he?
Just had to get their pro glo-BULL warming crap into the story didn’t they.
Thanks beaversmom.
Raptor first. F22 or prehistoric. Same result.
A mammoth once bit my cave sister.
:)
It happens. ;)
I hope she recovered well.
She’s dating a moose now so I have my doubts.
lol...
I think your sister is a free spirit.
Yea but her medical bills are awful. Free healthcare my foot ;)
