We were scouting out a back entrance to the buffalo roundup but it didn't pan out so we continued on to Hot Springs and the Mammoth Site where 26,000 years ago woolly mammoths were trapped in a pool along with other critters of the time. Their bones were discovered in 1974 during excavations for a housing development. The site is now enclosed and the dig continues, it is estimated that they have only gone down about a quarter of the way to the bottom of the pit.
These animals were VERY big, I was impressed when standing under a skeleton.
