Giants once roamed the Earth in our region. Mammoths and mastodons, elephant-like creatures, were common until humans hunted them to extinction.
Evidence of their presence can still be found, including in Lake County (Oregon). University of Oregon paleontologist Gregory Retallack has been investigating the tracks, which indicate mammoths traveling in a group (and one might have been limping). Dr. Retallack shared his findings; he visits with details.
