:14:19. > :14:21.when they actually recovered the pelt we thought it was going to
:14:22. > :14:25.be easy, we could do DNA on it. But unfortunately
:14:26. > :14:28.because the pelt was in peat it has destroyed any DNA it once contained
:14:29. > :14:35.so we had to go to an alternative analysis technique and that was
:14:36. > :14:37.looking at proteins within the fur. I don't begin to understand how that
