Woolly Mammoth Hair Display

Real hair from a Siberian Woolly Mammoth. The hair is enclosed in an acrylic display case and includes an information card on the back.  The woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) is an extinct species of mammoth that lived during the Pleistocene epoch. Mammoths had a thick undercoat of hair about 1 inch long under an outer layer of coarse hair that could grow up to 20 inches long.  The woolly mammoth coexisted with early humans, who used its bones and tusks for making art, tools, and dwellings, and the species was also hunted for food. Remains of the woolly mammoth have been discovered across Northern Europe into Siberia and Alaska and Canada. Typically, these finds include bones, teeth and tusks. Occassionally, but not very often, a mammoth is uncovered in northern climes, usually by erosion, in the permafrost that preserved the hair. Both the long coarse guard hair and the soft underwool have been found.     -> NOTE: The same pictured is a representative example of what you would
