I read an article on Reuters today about a family in California that has a Mastodon skeleton for sale. Yep, that’s right! A real one. Seems that this skeleton was found on their property in 1997. Since then, it’s been on display at a museum and in a wine bar. For the past few years, however, it’s just been taking up room in their garage. So now, it’s for sale. While the mastodon is not a dinosaur, it still is pretty cool. The mastodons in North America were the largest in the world. They were over 10 feet tall at the shoulder which makes the top of their head close to 15 feet off the ground. Wow! If I had the money, I just might buy this — but, not to worry because I don’t have the $115,000 minimum they are willing to take. Oh well, maybe next time I’ll have the cash.

Oh by the way, here’s a link to the original article. Click here.
