In 2003, the remains of two mammoths were discovered in Clute. This was the first major find of its kind in the Texas Gulf Coast region and has put Clute on the archaeological map. "Joe Mammoth" and "Asiel", as the mammoths have been named, join "Willie Manchew", as the mascot of the city's ambassadors.
