I have always loved Woolly Mammoths, Mastodons, and all their massive relatives—I mean have you seen what a Gomphothere looks like? Wild. The Ice Age was such an interesting time for mammals, and this cowl with it’s Mammoths and Woolly Rhinos celebrates just a teeny tiny slice of what made it fascinating!
