A large mammoth bone, measuring 'thick as a human leg,' has been discovered by a fisherman, dating back to the Ice Age.

A Polish fisherman recently caught a massive fish, but this is not your typical fish with gills and fins.

In late May, near Gdów, Poland, on the banks of the Raba River, a stunned angler discovered a puzzling object, as reported by Jam Press.

A mammoth bone from the Ice Age was discovered and found to be the perplexing item.

The fisherman in Poland informed local officials of his discovery.

An extinct elephantid bone was confirmed by researchers from the Institute of Paleobiology, Polish Academy of Sciences, after examining an archaeological discovery.

Researchers claimed that the mammoth bone was "thick as a human leg," according to Jam Press.

The municipality of Gdów issued a statement about the discovery of a bone, but did not specify which body part it belonged to.

Jam Press reported that experts are still conducting research on the bone.

It is believed that mammoths and other prehistoric animals inhabited the entire region of Poland during the Ice Age.

During the Pleistocene epoch, which lasted from 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago, elephantids lived throughout Europe, according to the University of California Museum of Paleontology.

Up to 14.7 feet tall and weighing over 14.3 tons, steppe mammoths were the largest of their species.

Jam Press reported that the fisherman who discovered the bone wished to remain anonymous.

In Kyrgyzstan, near the Jyrgalang River, a group of quarry workers discovered a massive mammoth jaw and teeth earlier this year.

Kyrgyzstan's archaeological discovery has made it a promising location for future discoveries, according to a previous report by Planet Chronicle Digital.

Kyrgyzstan is bordered by Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, and China, and is a landlocked nation.

The discovery of the mammoth jaw and teeth was made in the Issyk-Kul Region, which is adjacent to the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China.
