Blank FrankOk, ok. I know mammoths are not the same as mastadons. But seeing *that* word a zillion times this last week, I got to thinking about the Royal BC Museum in Victoria, BC, Canada, my old hometown. They have a HUGE (think of how Bernie says it) display of an enormous woolly mammoth there. I've walked by that particular exhibit so many times in my life, I couldn't even begin to count how many. Loved it as a little kid, love it as an old man.

You asked: How was Woolly the Mammoth made? | Royal BC Museum and Archives
We recently received an interesting question from Kamloops, BC resident Katrina Harding about our iconic mammoth—affectionately known as Woolly—who greets visitors at the entrance of our Natural History gallery: “It took me a long time before it clicked for me that it obviously isn’t a real mammoth in taxidermy. But that makes me wonder: how WAS it created?” We’re so glad you asked!
