The Erie SeaWolves have a new alternate identity, thanks to the help of HBO’s "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver." After extensive research, say hello to the Erie Moon Mammoths — a tribute to a local fossil excavation that occurred in 1991.

Before the Erie Moon Mammoths, there was a lone male mammoth, a Summit Township diver and an Erie County lake. Find out how bones, a man and a body of water led to the SeaWolves' new name.

The Detroit Tigers’ Double-A Erie Seawolves will be renamed the Erie Moon Mammoths after being picked by John Oliver of HBO’s “Last Week Tonight.”
