The Last Mammoth in the Room

[emo_snal]

   February, 13,000 BC, somewhere in the northwest of North America -- Wrapped in warm furs, Oxtusk surveyed the wintery landscape and leaned on his spear. In several places in the valley he could see smoke rising from villages, but what he didn't see was any large wildlife, or even tracks of such. It had been weeks since a caribou had been seen

Saber toothed wasps

I much regret that I was unable to find anything about Pleistocene insects. I probably wasted a bunch of time in a vain attempt to find anything at all about such. Let us just assume there were watermelon sized saber toothed wasps

I LOVE that picture!

Not that I'm responsible for creating it... but I suppose I'll take credit for my incredible taste in selecting it? :D

[spirited_grace]

Yes, and for integrating it into your masterful entry.

I love your nerdy entries--so informative with just the right amount of humour (poking them to death "quite rudely").

Wonderful graphic to offset great writing.

Thanks. While I can't take credit for making it, there were a lot of mammoth pictures to choose from so I guess I can take some credit in the selection (:
