Thanks Blam.

I wish they had a picture of the reconstruction but no dice.

Interesting that they found wild dogs from medieval times. Wonder what they were like? Didn’t know there were any wild dogs in Englad since the Ice Ages.

Also that they found bones of a large Roman-era horse. Most experts think that the horses during Roman times in Britain were the size of the Fell pony. I hope there is a follow-up on this.

"Didn’t know there were any wild dogs in Englad since the Ice Ages."

We still have wild dogs here in the South:

The Dixie Dingo

"Genetic (mitochondrial DNA) testing being performed at the University of South Carolina, College of Science and Mathematics, indicates that these dogs, related to the earliest domesticated dogs, are the remnant descendants of the feral pariah canids who came across the Bering land mass 8,000 to 11,000 years ago as hunting companions to the ancestors of the Native Americans."

Still living Wild in the bottom land swamps and forests of the Southeastern United States.
