The animal was identified as a steppe bison, a species that is no longer living. A paleontologist named Dale Guthrie was instrumental in retrieving the carcass from its environment.

Shortly after researchers unearthed the mummified body of a 55,000-year-old Steppe bison in the Alaskan tundra, they sliced off a piece of its neck. To eat!

Guthrie responded to the discovery of “Blue Babe,” a 50,000-year-old steppe bison found north of Fairbanks in 1979.

The steppe bison had much larger horns than modern bison. Radiocarbon dating and DNA analysis of bison fossils enabled researchers to track the migration of Pleistocene steppe bison into an ice-free ...

The European bison is a hybrid that descends from the steppe bison (Bison priscus) and the aurochs (Bos primigenius), both extinct species that were once native to the UK.

A rewilding project in Kent thinks that introducing bison to the UK can supercharge biodiversity. But how wild can introduced animals ever be?

European bison, the continent's largest land mammal, are the closest living relative to ancient steppe bison that would have once roamed Britain and naturally managed the habitat, the conservationists ...
