A new study is exploring when mammoths roamed Vancouver Island.
The Simon Fraser University study has given scientists the clearest picture yet on when the massive prehistoric ice-age cousins of the modern-day elephant inhabited the island, as it has always been understood the mammals lived in parts of the province, but the question of when has remained... woolly.
As part of SFU researcher Laura Termes’ PhD and published earlier this month in the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, the study examined 32 suspected mammoth samples collected on Vancouver Island.
