(WHTM) — A prehistoric beast is making a comeback in Pennsylvania — sort of.

After a segment devoted to ribbing the names and promotions of minor league baseball teams, John Oliver served good on his promise to surprise one team with a complete rebrand.

He choose the Erie Seawolves, the Detroit Tigers Double-A affiliate based in Erie, PA, which will don the Erie Moon Mammoths persona for four games this season.

The new name comes from an interesting, and often forgotten, piece of PA history.

In 1991, Erie County resident George Moon discovered woolly mammoth remains in Lake Pleasant, a small lake within the northwestern PA county.

The Moon Mammoth, as it came to be called, turned out to be one of the most complete specimens from the Commonwealth, according to the State Museum of Pennsylvania, where it now resides.

Eighty percent of the mammoth’s body is still intact, the museum said, including its molars, tusks, lower jaw, humerus, radius, ulna, shoulder blades, pelvis, vertebrae, ribs and foot bones.

The museum displayed the 12,000-year-old mammoth just one time in 2012, before sending it off to storage for scientific study.

Now Pennsylvanians will experience the prehistoric giant in an entirely new way.
