MAMMOTH
This is a Columbian mammoth, the species that evolved in North America perhaps 100,000 years ago from mammoths that crossed the Bering land bridge from Asia about 1.7 million years ago. Columbian mammoths were up to 14 feet high at the shoulder, and weighed up to 10 tons, larger than African elephants today. Woolly mammoths, smaller animals adapted to colder climates, that evolved in Asia, were also present in North America. On the Great Plains and south all the way into Central America, Clovis people hunted Columbian mammoths. In Coming Into America, mammoth remains are shown from the Gault Clovis site in Texas, and from the possible pre-Clovis La Sena site in Nebraska. Mammoths became extinct in North America around 13,000 years ago, as the last Ice Age was ending. At one time it was thought that Clovis hunters had caused the extinction, but now it's believed that the changing climate was the major factor.

The three Clovis hunters have cornered the mammoth in a stream bed, and have so far succeeded in landing three hits with their spears. The barbed, detachable spear heads remain in the animal. The hunters will continue to reload their spears, and land more hits, until the mammoth collapses.
