Twitter essay: The hunt for mammoth-snacks (with bacon) gets bloodier

Also - BE CAREFUL! If you buy a “mammoth tusk,” you could be contributing to an extinction of elephants!! salvonews.blogspot.ca/2006/10/mammot…

One of the previous links mentioned the woolly mammoth exhibit at the @royalbcmuseum in Victoria - a favourite exhibit as a child. Gigantic!
