Blue Babe
BLUE BABE: North Americas first frozen mummified remains of an ice age steppe bison, the 36,000 year-old mummy named "Blue Babe." The discovery of Blue Babe's mummy has vaulted our knowledge of the ice-age steppe bison to a completely new level, serving as a shiny blue window into the prehistoric past. The display of the mummy is not the actual full-fledged find – Blue's tanned and treated skin has been removed from the carcass and placed on a plaster replica.
