Enormous Skull Found In Alaska May Belong To The Legendary King Bear Of Inuit Mythology

An enormous, elongated polar bear skull emerged in 2014 from an eroding archaeological site southwest of Utqiaġvik in Alaska. Experts claim that it is quite different from most modern polar bear skulls and reassure that it is one of the biggest polar bear skulls ever found.

Jensen also expressed her satisfaction with the new finds, since she was one of the many people who believed the Walakpa site had already been thoroughly excavated back in the late 1960's, when Smithsonian anthropologist Dennis Stanford excavated the area for the first time. As she says, "Everyone had the opinion — I was one of them — that he had pretty well excavated the site and there was nothing left to be done."Finally, the closed-up site was also considered to be intact and pretty much safe from erosion and thaw, which wasn't the case at all - as Jensen and her colleagues told adn.
