Give me taxonomy or give me death!
July 4th at the Museum of Natural History, in the rotunda...
Tourist, girl around 20, "...oh look, its a dinosaur!"
The figure in the middle of the rotunda is an ELEPHANT!

But years ago it used to be a woolly mammoth, right? RIGHT?!?
I have been arguing this point for years and I seem to be the only one in the DC area that remembers that awesome woolly.
Bring the woolly back.
I want to boycott Natural History until it returns. Like, seriously, where can they possibly be hiding it? Woollies are big and hard to hide. (Thank you, Captain Obvious.)
I think that's true! Maybe it's our overactive kid imaginations, but I really do always think something's not right when I go in there and that it used to be a woolly mammoth.
:) I wish you hadn't posted anonymously! I'd love to know who you are!! We could team up and try to get some straight answers from the Smithsonian! :)
i thought it was a wholly mammoth too! i even told my visiting british boyfriend we had it and they didnt. but apparently we dont either. possibly the ny natural history museum?
