Tusks! Ice Age Florida’s Mammoths & Mastodons
This exhibit was on display June 15, 2002, through May 18, 2003
“TUSKS!” presented the fascinating story of extinct mammoths, mastodons, and their tusked relatives that roamed much of North America from 15 million to 10,000 years ago. Proboscideans or “tuskers” were giants in ancient ecosystems abundant with a wide diversity of animals and plants. Today the only living relatives of these ancient mammals are Asian and African elephants. TUSKS! tells the story of these animals as revealed by fossil discoveries and current research.
