Mummified northern horse goes on display

Country-Guide.ca: The Yukon Beringia Interpretive Center in Whitehorse is displaying the 26,000-year-old horse found by placer miners in the Klondike in 1993. The horse, billed as "the best preserved specimen of a mummified, extinct large mammal ever found in Canada," has become an exhibit at the center after scientific analysis of the carcass and restoration of its hide. The Yukon horses ranged from modern-day Alaska to Canada's Northwest Territories until about 12,000 years ago.
