ARCHAEOLOGY/ZOOLOGY/PALEONTOLOGY/ANTHROPOLOGY FREAKS READ ON:

Whoa - check this out:

I went to the mega mall tonite (what a zoo), and saw what looked like a
store with all kinds of stuffed animals in it.  Upon closer examination,
I discovered it was really an exhibit called the World of Mammoths.  
Admission was $5.50 for adults, and $3.75 for students and children.
It's at East Broadway and North Garden on the First Floor.  Call
476-2414 or 858-8744 for info.

I couldn't believe it - they have the St. Petursburg Mammoth on display
and Dima the baby mammoth as well !  There are people to guide you around,
they are Russian scientists here to raise some money.There are also other 
displays, including a mummified wolverine, sabertooth tigers, etc.

The mammoths were discovered in the tundra of Russia in the 18th
century, and were frozen, hence in very good condition.  They are thought
to be about 35,000 years old.  They were found with grass still in
their stomachs.  Dima is a perfectly preserved mummy of a baby mammoth.
I am sure you have seen pictures of them before.

It's kind of funny, because the Finlander who got Way Flamed about posting
his "Structure of Time/Space Potato" theory in sci.physics was posting 
articles about Dima a few day's ago.
