Remains of large Pleistocene mammals always attract attention. Scientists and local people who work and live in the Laptev Sea Region find and collect various bones and fragments of large mammals. Some of them are brought to the Lena Delta Reserve. Mammal remains of the "Mammoth fauna" are the most common artifacts in the paleontological collection of the Lena Delta Reserve museum.
