A MAMMOTH DISCOVERY

-

Archaeolog­ists have found the bones of about 60 woolly mammoths on a building site north of Mexico City.

They say there are so many bones it will be impossible to dig up all of them. The discovery was made when constructi­on started on converting a disused military air base into a commercial airport.

Millions of years ago, this was the site of a large wetland and scientists believe the grass and reeds in the wetland would’ve attracted the mammoths.
