Looks like something I would have made. No telling what mine are either.

Who is to say? We haven’t found all the fossils, and there could be another mammal that evolve to have the same characteristics because it was successful. One time it could be successful again.

Bear....

When this 45 rpm single was a radio hit by Johnny Preston some listeners thought it was “running bare.” Funny.

Today imagine the furor for “Indian whoops” on this?

I thought the same thing. But weren’t ground sloths only in the Americas?

Muzzle looks too long for either bear or lion. I think it’s a horse.

In the whole scheme of things, how important is this? Really? It’s a CARVING. Maybe of a fairy tale character.

Thousand of years from now someone will find half of a plaster of Paris hand print some kid made in kindergarten. The whole world will be in a tizzy wondering what it is.

I wonder if any of the “experts” even considered that this sculpture may have just been done by some talentless ice-age kid trying to make a statue of his dog?
