Woolly Mammoth — Bone Forge Skeleton

Description

The Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) spent roughly 600,000 years crossing the cold steppes of northern Eurasia and North America, grazing on grasses, sedges, and flowering plants in landscapes far richer than the frozen tundra of today. Males stood up to 3.7 metres at the shoulder and weighed as much as 6 tonnes, encased in a dense woolly undercoat and long guard hairs — adaptations for the deep cold of the Pleistocene ice ages. They lived in matriarchal family groups led by elder females, much as African elephants do now. The last isolated population survived on Wrangel Island in the Arctic until around 4,000 years ago — long after the Egyptian pyramids were completed.

This articulated skeleton model is designed by Pinkywings and printed at Mystmere Forge in totem carving stone filament — a warm stone tone with light and dark brown patterning that evokes aged bone and ancient ivory. The model is hand-finished and measures 16cm tusk to tail. Every joint moves freely, making it endlessly poseable.

Part of the Bone Forge collection — prehistoric skeletons finished by hand in Essex, UK. Each piece ships with a printed fact sheet.
