The woolly mammoth was long thought to be an extinct species, dying out during the ice age. Years ago, while digging in some frozen tundras, scientists made an amazing discovery... these mammoths were actually frozen alive! Arduous scientific efforts were taken to thaw the species and, although it has taken years, these furry, friendly creatures are alive and well today. What makes this story even more incredible, is that the mammoths have actually adapted to human civilization! They eat like us and dress like us. Can you believe it? These mammoths are living among us incognito! You may have even passed one on the street and didn’t know it!
In the wake of this amazing discovery, scientists asked for help to find new homes for these mammoths and our class responded. We were able to prove to the scientists that our home state of Pennsylvania would be a great place for a mammoth to live.
Our furry friend arrived in January, 2009, and we named him Wally. We took him everywhere with us and taught him all about his new home state.
Wally has a new classroom full of friends this year and, although he loves them dearly, Wally has developed a bit of the travel bug! He has expressed a desire to visit new places and see how they are the same and different from Pennsylvania.
