Woolly Mammoths
Cincinnati, OH
These Woolly Mammoths were previously installed in front of the Museum of Natural History in Cincinnati. The male and female mammoths were created by Neil Deaton in 1980 as part of the museum's Ice Age exhibit. The baby mammoths were created soon after that. Since 2001, the statues have been moved to several locations. The two large statues are now installed in front of the Vontz Family Education, Research and Collections Center. I don't know where the two smaller statues are. [map]

Hot Springs, SD
This Woolly Mammoth is located at the Mammoth Site. Mammoth bones were found at the site in 1974. A plywood enclosure was built around the site in 1975. In 1980, the site officially opened as a museum. This statue may have been installed then. It has been there since at last 2008. There is also a life-sized sculpture inside the museum. [map]
