Great. Just great. Now my kids are going to want one. And I know how it's going to go.
"Yes, Mommy, we swear we'll clean up after the mammoth! I'll take it for walks every day! I'll shovel up the poop and bring it water! Only please please please please please just please buy us a woolly mammoth!"
And I'll say, "OK, but if you don't take care of that mammoth properly it's going back."
"We'll take care of it, Mom! We absolutely promise!"
Three months later I'll be the one shovelling up mammoth poop, training the mammoth, grooming it, paying its vet bills, feeding it, taking it for walks, having it curl up in my study while I read FR. And then the kids will be surprised because the mammoth loves me and wants to sleep at the foot of my bed, not theirs. It never fails.

Can you imagine going to the ASPCA/Human Society to adopt one of these? And the animal control officers are going to need semi-trucks.
Remember to have your Mammoth spayed or neutered, it's for the good of the community.
