Mammoths roamed the Earth and their remains still roam on our porch.

Welcome to another episode of “Power Moment with Paula Lamas.” Today, we have a truly fascinating topic that bridges the ancient past with cutting-edge science and ethical debates of the present. We’re diving into the world of the Columbian mammoth, with insights from an expert at the MCBONES Research Center in Tri-Cities, WA.

Our guest, Gary Kleinknecht, member of the Ice Age Floods Institute, Social Studies Teacher and Education Director at MCBONES, the Coyote Canyon Mammoth Site, who will take us on a journey through the discovery and significance of the Columbian mammoth, a majestic creature that once roamed from southern Canada all the way to Costa Rica.
