Help power the National Parks Traveler’s coverage of national parks and protected areas.
Exceptionally well-preserved fossils of Columbian Mammoths and other Ice Age animals are found at the Waco Mammoth National Monument in Waco, Texas. In this unit of the National Park System, you can see the only recorded evidence of a nursery herd of Columbian mammoth mothers and their offspring and get a rare glimpse into the behavior and ecology of these immense extinct giants.
This paleontological site represents the nation’s only recorded discovery of a nursery herd of Columbian mammoths. Reaching 4 m (13 ft) at the shoulders and 22,000 lb in weight, research has indicated that between 65,000 and 72,000 years ago, a nursery herd of at least 19 mammoths were trapped and drowned by rapidly rising flood waters from the Bosque River.
