Another biology and
geology display is the Woolly Mammoth. The Woolly Mammoth was a large
creature that inhabited Europe, Asia, and North America, but became extinct
after the last glaciation. It was elephant-like, but not directly related
to the modern elephant. There were a number of species; some of which
were very large in size, standing about 4.5 meters (15 feet) at the shoulder.
