Baby Mammoth On Display Starting Saturday July 3, 2009 Matt Haugen KVEWTVRICHLAND -
- A baby mammoth will soon be on display in Kennewick. The life-sized replica will be unveiled Saturday morning around 11 at the Columbia Center Mall. The real skeleton is believed to be from the smallest mammoth ever discovered. The mammoth is a sneak peak at what will be offered at the new Hanford Reach Interpretive Center in Richland. Reach Director Kimberly Camp said getting the replica is very exciting. "When I first found this and came back and said I think it would be a good idea to bring that here, there was so much excitement about and what it could mean" said Camp. Children are encouraged to enter a "Name The Baby" contest. The reach is planning to have a full-size replica of an adult male Columbian Mammoth skeleton in the center's great hall when it opens.
