School children look a the lower jaw of 'Zed,' a male Colombian mammoth shown at the Page Museum lab at the La BreaTar Pits in Los Angeles on Wednesday Feb. 18, 2009. Researchers discovered 16 fossil deposits under an old parking lot next to the tar pits in 2006 and began sifting through them last summer. The mammoth remains, including 10-foot-long tusks, were in an ancient riverbed near the fossil cache. An examination reveals Zed, a well-preserved Columbian mammoth, had arthritic joints and several broken and re-healed ribs — an indication that he suffered a major injury during his life.
