    Elmer the mastodon is leaving Oakland Community College for a new home at Cranbrook

    Elmer, a 12-foot-tall mastodon skeleton, is relocating from Oakland Community College to the Cranbrook Institute of Science due to the college's campus closure in 2027. The move, part of a partnership to enhance public access, involves disassembling the skeleton, which was discovered in 1968 near White Lake, Michigan, and has been displayed at the college since the 1980s.
