Other frozen Pleistocene Age mammals had been found from time to time, but this one was so well preserved that half-chewed leaves and grasses still clung to its teeth. Its hide was covered with long, reddish-brown woolly hair. The hind legs measured nearly 50 inches from sole to knee, and weighed about 350 pounds each.
