Not roaming the planet anymore, but this hoof on the beach is evidence that the Yukon Horse (Equus lambei) once roamed the shores of Qikiqtaruk. Or nearby shores some 15,000 years ago.

jakobDescription
North of Kalemie, Kilicha River, 1880 m. Captured in a clearing near a stream in a deep valley. The forest covering the surrounding slopes was dense with tall trees (40–50 m) covering the surrounding slopes and had a fairly open understorey. The clearing was formed in an area where the stream had deposited gravel in the wet season but was at a much lower level at the time of capture (dry season).
