12-Foot-Tall Metal Mammoth

Aurelia, Iowa

Built out of metal by local farmer Denny Allen, erected in March 2018. The mammoth weighs over a ton, stands 12 feet tall, and is 22 feet long. Denny used industrial metal scrap for the mammoth's skin, and pipes from an old church organ for the tusks. Denny has dotted the landscape around Aurelia is with various scrap metal sculptures -- including a velociraptor at Ridge View High School -- but his mammoth is by far his largest. Mammoths roamed this part of Iowa in prehistoric times.
