Not far from modest suburban homes in the middle of some thick Texas woods lies a secret boneyard. Surrounded by a tall chain-link fence and covered by what looks like a red-and-white circus tent, the site contains the remains of towering monsters. Remains of at least 25 mammoths, signs of a big saber-toothed cat and a long extinct camel have been found at the site.

Ten-year-old J.P. Post was walking home from Woodriver Elementary School last week when he came face to face, or rather face to tooth, with a giant woolly mammoth that roamed his neighborhood more than 10,000 years ago. The boy was traveling home on Aug. 22 along a well-worn path through a wooded area off Amherst Drive directly north of the school when he saw what looked like a jagged rock sticking out of the ground.
