The Feb. 20, 1992, issue of the Park Labrea News included a photograph and caption that jokingly alluded to “saving” a prehistoric mammoth that was sinking into the lake in front of the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum. The mammoth was successfully “rescued” and remains in place today in an exhibit along Wilshire Boulevard showing how the animals once came to the tar pits and were trapped in tar, a process which now enables people to study and view their fossils today.
