 * A short history of the mammoth and how it arrived in [|Oaxaca]. The prehistoric mammal roamed the earth during the Cenozoic Ice Age. It had long hair to protect it from the severe cold. The curved tusks extend in front of the trunk. It became extinct millions of years ago. Skeletons have been found throughout the Arctic, Eurasia and North America.

In Oaxaca the not so wooly mammoth is known to change colors and visit its favorite places. If you spot this beast, have no fear. You can approach safely and take a photo with him. The mammoth only wants your smile. || Una breve historia del mamut y como llegó a [|Oaxaca]. El mamífero prehistórico vagaba por la tierra durante el Cenozoico Edad de Hielo. Era greñudo para protegerse del intenso frío. Sus colmillos curvos se extienden delante de su tronco. Se extinguió hace millones de años. Esqueletos se han encontrado por las regiones del Ártico, Eurasia y América del Norte.

El mamut oaxaqueño, no tan greñudo, es conocido por cambiar de colores y visitar sus lugares favoritos. Si ves esta bestia, no tengas miedo. Acercate y toma una foto con el! El mamut solo quiere que tu sonrisa. ||
