Hot Springs Mammoth Site

Hot Springs is a tourist town worth a drive through or short walk on its main street. Within the city is an amazing exhibit called "Mammoth Site". This is the worlds largest mammoth research facility where an active dig of mammoths is being conducted. The entire dig site is covered and part of a tourist experience where you can watch paleontologists dig. The site was once a sinkhole with water that attracted the mammoths but trapped them once inside. Dozens of mammoths as well as other animals have been found in this one small location.
