Steppe mammoth, Prehistoric exhibit at Azov Museum, Russia.
The male and female Steppe mammoth skeletons at Azov Museum show extinct megafauna that measured up to 4.5 meters tall at shoulder height.
The Azov Museum opened in 1917 through local community efforts, experienced war-time losses, and underwent reconstruction before displaying the mammoth specimens.
The mammoth specimens serve as educational resources for students and researchers studying the prehistoric period of southern Russia and early human interactions.
Visitors can examine two complete Steppe mammoth skeletons alongside other Ice Age specimens, including woolly rhinoceros and steppe bison remains.
These skeletons represent the most complete Mammuthus trogontherii specimens discovered in the Sea of Azov region, dating from the Pleistocene epoch.
