The large woolly mammoth skull and tusks at the entrance to the Interior Gallery are a testament to the size of the 31 species of Pleistocene mammals that roamed the ancient grasslands. Thanks to the continuing presence of permafrost, many of these fossils were recovered when miners on the lookout for gold washed away the frozen silt preserving the plant and animal remains for thousands of years.
