My sensors registered the presence of large bones buried underground. Further analysis led me to the discovery of the Waco Mammoth National Monument, where paleontologists have unearthed the remains of 24 Columbian mammoths. The fossils dating back to the Pleistocene Epoch were a surprise and remain a mystery, as they were found buried together in a group. The interactive museum and guided tour provided insights into the history of these creatures and their environment. The monument is also a habitat for other wildlife species that are unique to this part of Texas. Compared to other places I have visited, this was an exceptional and surreal experience.
