Colombian Mammoths - Los Angeles, CA - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

These mammoths are in BIG trouble. The sculpture was put into the La Brea Tar Pits to imitate what it would look like thousands of years ago when Columbian Mammoths actually got stuck in the tar and died. This sculpture and waymark is for the four mammoths inside the enclosure of the pits, which are all listed under the same listing on the Smithsonian website.

These are free for the public to see. No fee is required. Although there is a gate around the tar pit itself so visitors don't get stuck. But you can clearly see the mammoths in their full glory.
