The northern Yukon and Alaska, a region referred to as Beringia, was the only area in most of North America that wasn’t glaciated during the last ice age. As a consequence, there are lots of Mastodon tusks lying beneath the surface.
In a lecture at the Beringia Centre in Whitehorse last year, an expert was asked why mastodons had tusks? His response, “We really don’t know for sure.”
If that was the case for the curling North American types, what are we to make of these Greek?
In this image released by the Museum of Natural History Rotterdam, shows an impression by Dutch artist Remie Bakker, based on Greek fosssil evidence of a prehistoric mastodon in this undated image.

Greek and Dutch researchers at the site said the remains are 2.5 millions years old and could provide insight into how the primitive elephant became extinct. The largest tusk is 5 meters long.

“It’s about a gay sailor. Or maybe it’s about a geisha sailor. It’s about a treacherous journey through time and space.”
“Also, don’t eat the brown acid on Blood Mountain. It might mess your innards up. That’s it in a macadamia nutshell.”
The Mastodon video game:
“What? Where? This is the first time I’ve ever heard of it. I thought people were $%@$!! with me.”
(Good, I still hate it!)
Inspirations:
