Do you want to see the mammoths like Manny from the movie Ice Age? You now have a chance to see him! Starting from July 11, 2008 you will be able to see a grand exhibition of ice age Mammoths in Taipei! The event will be held in Chiangkai-Shek Memorial Hall. The special Taipei exhibition is expected to attract a huge crowd of Taiwanese citizens everyday as well as foreign visitors from around the globe. It is the first Mammoth exhibition in Taiwan and is probably among the largest ever in Asia.

Why is the exhibition so special? The male mammoth, Yukagir, still with hair and skin was discovored in August, 2002, by local hunters in the cold northeast Russia in Sakha Republic. Also, the female young mammoth of about 1 year old, Oymiakon, was discovered even more recently during 2004! They are both coming to Taipei this summer! Their bodies are still very intact and totally observable because they were discovered in a frozen state, having been kept under 15 degrees Celsius every year underground. Now you have a chance to see a marvelous evidence of the true ice age from 18000 years ago in Taipei!

Over 100 mammoth parts will be borrowed from a variety of other museums and private collections, to give the visitors a true astonishment!
