From Business: The Buffalo Equestrian Center, Inc., was built in 1922 as an indoor polo arena. The five-acre site includes the indoor riding arena, stables, paddocks, and a 17.

The wolf pup was found perfectly preserved in permafrost in Yukon, Canada, according to a news release from Des Moines University. The pup was named Zhùr, meaning ‘wolf’ in the Hän language, by the local Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in people. The team's findings were published Monday in the journal Current Biology.

'She was found in the summer of 2016, in July, by a gold miner in the Yukon. They mine for gold by shooting a water cannon at these giant permafrost cliffs. Instead of gold falling out, this little frozen puppy fell out,' said Julie Meachen, an associate professor of anatomy at Des Moines University. Meachen served as the lead author on the paper and co-lead researcher on the wolf mummy project.

Researchers from the Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre and University of California Santa Cruz also contributed to studying the 57,000-year-old wolf mummy.

'She is the most complete and the oldest mummy of a wolf that has ever been found,' Meachen said. 'It's really rare, actually, to have these kind of mummies in North America. They're much more common from Siberia.'

The approximately seven-week-old pup is believed to have died when her den collapsed and she was essentially 'freeze dried,' Meachen explained.

An analysis of the pup's genome showed she was descended 'from ancient wolves from Russia, Siberia, and Alaska, who are the ancestors of modern wolves as well,' the release states. Researchers also learned the pup's diet included fish.

'The specimen holds special significance for the local Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in people, who have agreed to place Zhùr on display at the Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre in Whitehorse,' the news release said.

It's every paleontologist's dream to study a mummy as complete as Zhùr.

'I mean, upon seeing her, I was so floored by how beautifully preserved she is,' Meachen said.

Wasilla is a city in Matanuska-Susitna Borough, United States and the sixth-largest city in Alaska. It is located on the northern point of Cook Inlet in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley of the southcentral part of the state. The city's population was 7,831 at the 2010 census. Wasilla is the largest city in the borough and a part of the Anchorage metropolitan area, which had an estimated population of 364,701 in 2008.
Established at the intersection of the Alaska Railroad and Old Carle Wagon Road, the city prospered at the expense of the nearby mining town of Knik. Historically entrepreneurial, the economic base shifted in the 1970s from small-scale agriculture and recreation to support for workers employed in Anchorage or on Alaska's North Slope oilfields and related infrastructure. The George Parks Highway turned the town into a commuter suburb of Anchorage. Several state and federal agencies have offices in Wasilla, including the Alaska Departments of Environmental Conservation, Labor and Divisions of Public Assistance, Social Services.
Wasilla gained international attention when Sarah Palin, who served as Wasilla's mayor before her election as Governor of Alaska, was chosen by John McCain as his vice-presidential running mate in the 2008 United States presidential election.
