Discovery in the Klondike ranks as the most complete mummified mammal found in the Americas
It was a young miner, digging through the northern Canadian permafrost in the seemingly aptly named Eureka Creek, who sounded the alarm when his front-end loader struck something unexpected in the Klondike gold fields.
“She’s perfect and she’s beautiful,” Grant Zazula, the paleontologist for the Canadian territory of the Yukon,“She has a trunk. She has a tail. She has tiny little ears. She has the little prehensile end of the trunk where she could use it to grab grass.” The discovery was made on the traditional territory of the Trʼondëk Hwëchʼin First Nation. At a ceremony earlier this week“It’s amazing,” said Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in elder Peggy KormendyChief Roberta Joseph of the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in First Nations said they would seek to move forward with the remains “in a way that honours our traditions, culture and laws”, adding that the Nun cho ga had “chosen to reveal herself to all of us”.
