**although some organs have shrunk significantly over time**
Well if cold water can cause shrinkage think about what being frozen can do to “some organs.”

Usually, ‘Charismatic’ means you’re the life of the party, you know, the way Hillary thinks she is. Maybe these were some really ‘Bichon’ Bison.
To: SunkenCiv
Do things like that have preserved DNA of any ‘use’? Could be interesting.

OK...I did a little research (very little! LOL).
A “Charismatic Mammal” is a beast that people LIKE, and so is useful in promoting tourism, conservation, etc.
Examples would be Lions, Tigers, leopards, Elephants, Bears, etc.
Examples of non-charismatics would be poisonous snakes, maggots, rats, hyenas, dingos, bats, cockroaches, pigeons, jellyfish, and lice.

So the author of this article wants to lead me to believe some people went to all the trouble of mummifying an entire bison? Why? [Thog want know—you gonna eat that?] Did they wrap it up like King Tut? Or did it just keel over from starvation and become preserved in place through freezing? Journalists...

he wasn’t officially mummified, using the traditional 90 day Anubus method.
He was probably just “buried in his jammies”.

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.
