The Guadalupe River Trail Has a New Work of Public Art
Check out this amazing metal mammoth that is roaming the Guadalupe River Trail in Downtown San Jose! The project commemorates the mammoth fossils that were discovered in the Guadalupe River bed several years ago. These are exactly the types of projects that we need to interest more people in exploring and discovering San Jose's parks.

Guys - it's not an elephant, it's a woolly mammoth.

It's been documented at length by Yves Zsutty, the trail coordinator for the city of San José.
Sorry, I thought it was an elephant because it kind of looks like one, I'll update the post on SSC. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteactually it's not a wooly mammoth, but a columbian mammoth. Those are the kind that roamed the west coast and the bones that have been found locally, regionally and at everyone's favorite La Brea Tar Pits.
