There was a previous post about the woolly mammoths found in Swindon, England (see below). There has been another find of a woolly mammoth in Devon:

Archaeologists found the remains during work as part of the development of a new town near Plymouth. 

Excavation during infrastructure work led to the discovery of the animal remains in an area near old lime kilns and Sherford Quarry. 

The archaeological team has so far found the partial remains of a woolly mammoth and a woolly rhinoceros, along with a virtually complete wolf skeleton and the partial remains of a hyena, horse, reindeer, mountain hare and red fox.

 

 

Here is a map showing the location of this latest woolly mammoth find (Devon) and the previous one (Swindon).
