This as-yet-unnamed woolly mammoth will not need feeding or taking for long walks - but it will definitely require a spacious home.
Summers Place Auctions will be selling the ancient mammal's skeleton, complete with tusks, as parts of its Evolution sale on November 26.
The auction house expects the skeleton to fetch a winning bid between GBP 150,000 and GBP 250,000 (roughly US $243,000 to $406,000) given that it is an extremely rare specimen, owing to having tusks in such good condition.
Standing 3.5 metres in height and 5.5 metres in length, experts believe the mammoth was a male, weighing up to six tonnes and covered in long fur.
And, rather tragically, the beast is still without a name.
Suggestions are being welcomed by the event organisers, but submissions will only be accepted until October 13.
A team of experts, including curator Errol Fuller, and an undisclosed celebrity will pick a winner. Suggestions can be sent to mammoth@summersplaceauctions.com or on posted on the relevant Facebook Page.
Only under 14s are eligible to win a prize and there is also an opportunity to “meet” the mammoth in early November.
Mammuthus primigenius roamed large parts of the northern hemisphere for millenia until roughly 4,000 years ago when the last known population died out on Wrangel Island in the Arctic Ocean.
Not too dissimilar from modern elephants, the woolly mammoth had smaller ears and a shorter tail to minimise heat loss.
