Interesting Facts

Mammoth hair can be sold for $50 an inch on the black market. (Seemingly specimens of this extinct species are traded in a lucrative market not just for hair, but ivory, skin, and other body parts. You know it's true what they say, some people will buy anything. Actually my hair has a slightly woolly mammoth quality to it. I wonder how much I could flog it on eBay for.)

Mammoths, previously thought to be dark-haired, were also blond and possibly ginger, suggest researchers after analysing 43,000-year-old bones. (I wonder if they told each other blond jokes.)
