14,500 y.o. woolly mammoth skeleton unveiled at Museum

Milwaukee museum unveils woolly mammoth skeleton, considered most complete in North America.
Few paleontological specimens are as complete as the Hebior mammoth. The skeleton lacks a rib as well as a few bones in the tail and feet, but is otherwise nearly whole.

Standing more than twice the height of a person, the woolly mammoth is among three with scientific significance for southern Wisconsin.

The Milwaukee museum already had skeletons of a mastodon and Chinese elephant. This is its first woolly mammoth.
