Mammuthus columbi, the Columbian mammoth, by Zdenek Burian.
Probably one of my favorites from Burian’s elephants. I love the sense of motion and action, the size and majesty of the rearing mammoth, and the microstory it seems to be telling.

"You can kneel to him if you like, he won't mind. I know your kneeler's knees must be itching, for want of some king to bend to. Watch out he don't step on you, though. Giants have bad eyes, and might be he wouldn't see some little crow all the way down there by his feet."

Extinction is a Myth
No species ever truly leaves us
Not just by having living descendants
But the ripple effects of every interaction, every decision, every bit of growth by each living organism through time
Has lead to this moment
The fact that our ancestors lived alongside large dinosaurs is written into our history
Absolutely every single event in the past was necessary to lead to this present. None of our existences would have happened if the past had not happened first. Mammoths live on in the way they affected our world, even to today.
This is true for everything. All living things. All living things owe their existence to the complex ways our ecologies had us all interact in the past - we all are descendants from everything that came before.
Genes are not the only pathway of descent. Connections, interactions, ecological webs - that is also descent.
All organisms of the past are all of our ancestors. All live on in us in one way or another. Nothing is truly gone.
And then besides all of that this weird group of bipedal predatory monkeys decided to become obsessed with them and brought them back to spiritual life via culture and communication and art, which is a whole other thing but worth pointing out.
Sure, we can't bring nonavians back like in Jurassic Park...
But we also already brought them back by just learning about them, revering them, respecting them
And that's the wildest shit I've ever seen

Thirteen years ago today, on July 20th, 2010, I smelled the La Brea Tar Pits, started cough-laughing about how bad it smelled and tripped over my own feet.
The mildly creepy dying animal sculptures are worth the trip alone. The museum was nice too.

Etymology of the word mammoth: comes from a Russian word for digging because in 1706 they were still figuring out how fossils worked, and the first time it was used as an adjective it was describing an extremely large cheese. It wasn't just the size that earned the word, though: it was because it was a giant cheese sent specifically to Thomas Jefferson, who loved mammoths. In fact, at that point in history, a lot of North America was still unknown to Westerners, and Jefferson had really hoped that the Lewis & Clark expedition would find some.
(Side note: they knew what elephants were but apparently thought maybe the Mammoth was different, maybe using the tusks to dig like a mole or maybe a huge carnivore that used its tusks as pincers to attack prey????)

Mammuthus columbi, the Columbian mammoth, by Zdenek Burian
Well, not exactly. This was supposed to be the imperial mammoth (Mammuthus imperator) when it was painted, but since then imperator has become synonymized with columbi, so you have one warm-weather North American mammoth and one cold-weather North American mammoth.
So that means there are at least two Burian Columbian mammoth pieces. This one is a lot more relaxed and peaceful.

I'm so excited about the new Mammoth!!! Maximus has been on my wishlist for forever, but he's retired :( and now there's a chance to get a Mammoth. 🦣
Yes! Viggo Mammoth is one of my two favorites of the new collection. He is absolutely beautiful. I like to think of him and Stellan Saber Tooth Tiger as gay partners🏳️🌈 I hope you can finally get yourself a Jellycat mammoth!
I have to add though, despite the relatively large size their price is outrageous... At least for customers in Europe where they are slapping on another 20 dollars to the costs. I don't like to be negative on this blog usually, but this needs to be said. The only reason I have not gotten the two prehistoric boys is because of the raised prices.
