noxcatThe Waco Mammoth National Monument

These are not the Wooll y Mammoths of the Ice Age movies. (Cute movies, IMHO) They're COLUMBIAN Mammoths.I had no idea it was there! But it's a small site - all of 4 acres.The actual fossils are gone - moved to Baylor University, but the display is still a representation of an actual dig, so it's covered. There's a 360 degree elevated walkway around it, and the tour guide uses a laser pointer to point out and explain some of the details of the site. Very cool.
In other news - took Hairy Boy Cat in for his Annual, and he was so not stressed he took a treat from the Vet's hand after his shots. He's lost an ounce or two, but nothing to be doncerned about.
