![]() Picture these animals living and breathing in their natural environments. How did that happen?įirst, before we consider the mammoths, I’d like you to pause for a moment and imagine some of the animals that lived even earlier, during the age of the dinosaurs. But fossils of mammoths and mastodons weren’t just surprising-they changed science forever! Indeed, the discovery of these great shaggy prehistoric beasts overturned our understanding of the entire world. There once existed elephants with four tusks or even tusks shaped like shovels. The elephant family tree has had many oddly shaped branches. In Junior Skeptic #60 (2016), we mean that literally we explore the hidden history of mammoths and mastodons! Enjoy this excerpt from the first couple pages of the Junior Skeptic #60, bound within Skeptic magazine 21.3 (2016), available now in print and digital editions. In the pages of Junior Skeptic-the engagingly illustrated science and critical thinking publication for younger readers, bound within every issue of Skeptic magazine-we often look at “wild and wooly” mysteries. ![]()
