Description

Camels, short-faced bear, lions. These animals aren't typically associated with the Yukon, but they all lived and died here at some point, leaving their bones as evidence. Paleontologist Grant Zazula tells us what else roamed here and what their ancient fossils reveal about how this part of the world looked not so long ago.  Contact us Tweet us at @northofordinary or @theyukonkaren Email editor@northordinary.com You can also read/subscribe to Yukon, North of Ordinary magazine.
