Exceptionally well-preserved fossils of Columbian Mammoths and other Ice Age animals are found at the Waco Mammoth National Monument in Waco, Texas. In this unit of the National Park System, you can see the only recorded evidence of a nursery herd of Columbian mammoth mothers and their offspring and get a rare glimpse into the behavior and ecology of these immense extinct giants.
This week, the Traveler’s Lynn Riddick travels to Waco, to see what else she can unearth about this unique unit of the National Park System that permanently protects the remains of Columbian Mammoths.
