  What is mummified mammoth poop!?

  Jul 29, 202629 min

  Did you know a giant, dried-out pile of mammoth poop can survive for over 20,000 years!? And still hold the seeds, pollen, and even parasite eggs trapped inside it! Scientists call it "mummified," and it might be the ultimate Ice Age time capsule! This week, we travel to Waco Mammoth National Monument in Texas with Justin Tweet, paleontologist with the U.S. National Park Service! ➡️ Part of the Wild Critters USA series, created with PBS Nature and the National Wildlife Federation ➡️ Learn more about Waco Mammoth National Monument: https://www.nps.gov/waco/index.htm ➡️ Ranger Rick magazine from the National Wildlife Federation: https://rangerrick.org ️ Free Wild Critters and Orbit coloring pages: https://www.cumbrekids.org/color-along Submit your kids' questions! https://www.cumbrekids.org/questions Support this podcast by joining The Curious Club: Orbit Family Conversation Starters! If you found footprints, bones, hair, and poop in a cave, which one would you want to investigate first, and why? What do you think scientists can learn about an animal just by studying its poop? Why do you think it's important to leave fossils where you find them and tell a park ranger instead of taking them home? Continue Learning as a Family! Play "junior paleontologist" at home: take turns asking each other which discovery you'd want to find first in a cave: footprints, bones, hair, or poop, and why! Look up what kind of Ice Age animals once lived in your own area or country! Many places around the world had their own giant mammoths, sloths, or saber-toothed cats.
