Pigmy mammoths lived on the Channel Islands of Southern California until about 4,000 years ago. The peaceful, eco-friendly native Americans killed them off.
There is a museum in Moundsville, WV, which has a skeleton of a mammoth. Much larger than an elephant. Moundsville is on the Ohio River just across from Ohio, about 13 miles south of Wheeling. Only problem getting there from Wheeling is that you have to drive through Brad Paisley’s birthplace.
