According to Jorgen Rosvold, a researcher at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, the bird's body was discovered by a guard at the frozen edge of the Oppdal Mountains.
Researchers decided to cut the dead bird's body to see it after such a long time, whether or not internal organs existed.
Rosvold said, " It is amazing that the body of the bird can survive after more than 4,000 years. This is the first time we have carcassed and observed the body of such thousands of years old ."

According to the researchers, it is possible that the bird was captured and killed by a wolf or fox and buried under ice to store food during the summer. And it is not until now that the ill-fated bird has been discovered.
The results showed that some internal organs included the intact heart and liver of the bird. This night there was a chance for the research team to examine and find out more about the conditions of living in Norway thousands of years ago when the bird died.
