Mammoth dig site in Texas

Located in Waco, Texas, the Waco Mammoth National Monument is a museum and tourist attraction that showcases the fascinating history of Columbian mammoths. These massive creatures once roamed the area thousands of years ago, and the monument is home to the nation's first and only recorded evidence of a nursery herd of these ice age mammoths. Visitors can marvel at the impressive fossil specimens, some standing as tall as 14 feet and weighing 20,000 pounds. The museum offers a unique opportunity to learn about the Pleistocene Epoch and the stories of these ancient animals.
