Renowned wildlife sculptor
Kent Ullberg delivered his Snowmastodon sculpture to the

After two intense years, late hours, long nights and not being able to say a word about what he was working on, Kent Ullberg will see his sculpture, "Snowmastodon," dedicated Thursday at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
