It was a really unique experience that when you visit a mall for shopping and you observed a bunch of people surrounding the largest genuine fossils. For Real, the Siberian fossil named “Woolly Mammoth “, about four meters tall and its history goes back to ice age about 15000 years ago has become a source of attraction and entertainment for every eye in Marina Mall Abu Dhabi.
It is believed to be a biggest fossil ever, Nick Kontos head of marketing at Marina mall told XPRESS that each and every bone of this skeleton is 100% original according to him there are 10 fossil of Woolly Mammoths exhibit all over the world but this is the largest one. Visitors now have the opportunity to get a close up view of this piece of history.
Fossil of Woolly Mammoths was discovered by an 11-year-old boy named Yevgeny “Zhenya†Salinder from a migrant family in Russia’s north. He found well preserved Woolly Mammoth when he was crossing the banks of the Yenisei River in late August.  Scientist considered it as the best discovery since 1901.
Mammoths resembled elephants in size and shape they had narrow skulls, smaller ears and shortest tails, covered in a full coat of hairs. They lived in extremely cold weather.
As elephants do today, the Woolly Mammoth had tremendous tusks which would have been used for both burrowing and getting food. The tusks of the woolly mammoth were quite curved and could easily stretch be up to 5 meters (16ft) long. The worth of tusk is around 400$ per pound. Scientist claimed that the shoulder heights of woolly mammoths was 9 to 11 feet tall and weighted approximately 6 to 7 tons.
10,000 years ago their numbers began to reduce. About 500-1000 Woolly Mammoths lived on Wrangel Island until 1650 BC.
Environmental change has been considered of this misfortune. When the ice age ended and climate becomes to be more favorable, humans started migrating toward those areas gradually people started hunting Mammoths for their needs, so this was the reason of their extinction.
