Name that mammoth

DENVER (AP) - December 17, 2010

The Denver Museum of Nature and Science wants some help, in naming the first mammoth found at a fossil site in western Colorado.

Crews have uncovered an estimated 600 bones from Ice Age animals near Snowmass Village.

They include mammoths, mastodons, a giant ground sloth and ancient bison.

There are five proposed names for the ancient beast, including Snowy.

The museum is taking votes online and at the museum.
