It isn’t 10K years old! It is a modern escapee from the center of the Hollow Earth.

/read too many ERB books

Cool song. :)

[McGruff]

Hey, I saw these things for sale on EBay.

[Utilizer]

Well, I did state at the outset “...for what it’s worth.” The pics don’t really show much, but that’s to be expected for something frozen in the ice for so long.

This would be a great animal to clone—What zoo wouldn’t want one? What circus wouldn’t want a performing Wooly Rino! This would be GOLD. Would you pay to see a livinng example of this? I would.

“Boy, now did the citizens of Bedrock cause the wooly rhinoceros and the wooly mammoth to go extinct?”

They all drove muscle cars.

Thanks Utilizer.

Dubious...no “Semyulyakh River” listed on Google maps, if that means anything

[Utilizer]

No worries, mate. :)

[Blood of Tyrants]

It was globull warming.

It is located in the Abyysky district of Siberia’s Sakha Republic. Second source:

If I were a sheep-herder/wool-grower I’d be very concerned. We now have ongoing efforts to clone wooly mammoths and wooly rhinos. Imagine how much wool you could get from a single shearing of a mammoth or a rhino (once you decide who’s going to hold their legs.)

Selennyakh River 100 miles up river from Belaya Gora, Sakha Republic.

Thanks for the info...looks desolate, not far from the notorious Kolyma gold fields, yikes!

[Cold Heart]

I cooked up part of some 5 year old ground beef. The dog liked it, I didn’t. Smelled old cooking it.

Marinated the remainder in cheese whey for 24 hrs, cooked it & tasted good. Took all the red out & made the meat white.

[Darksheare]

Freezer burned?

[ZULU]

Isn’t that John McCain.

[Utilizer]

You are welcome, and yes the area seems to be quite remote indeed. I think those hunters were very fortunate to make this discovery before the local wildlife destroyed more of the find than had already occurred.

“Thibideaux!”

“Yah Boudreax?”

“Fire up de barbecue!”
