Wooly Mammoths have got to be the coolest animals ever after the giant squid, Portugese Man o' War and that humungous pterodactyl whose name I can't remember (not pteranodon, the really big one).
A few years ago when I was working at a newspaper we sent an employee up to the Russian Far North to do a human-interest story. According to her, there are so many mammoths frozen under ice up there that the local languages have a word for "mammoth meat." She brought back a great photo of a mammoth almost totally submerged under ice -- just two huge tusks protruding from the ground. Too cool.
Nu, zayats, pogodi!
