Mammoth up for grabs in big sale

Image

Looking for that must-have ornament for a cavernous living room or backyard lawn? Perk up, Sotheby's is putting a complete Mammoth skeleton up for sale in Paris.

The auction house plans the October 2 sale as part of a collection of fossils, skeletons, meteors and minerals - and even a dinosaur egg and woolly rhinoceros skeleton - from the Kashiwagi museum in Japan.

Sotheby's said that the skeleton of Mammuthus primigenius, from Siberia, dates to the Middle Paleolithic period when Neanderthals roamed the earth. The house estimates it will go for more than €185,000

The Mammoth skeleton, which has been arranged in a bit of an upward-facing pose, measures 3.5 metres in height - just slightly taller than it is long.

I guess it would make a perfect gift for a man who has everything. :95
