How did these things freeze before they rotted or were devoured by something?
I don’t get it. Something is missing.

Imagine an asteroid knocking the world off its axis and suddenly these animals found themselves on the new northern regions..... very very cold.
This is just a wild guess, but it makes some sense.
Another would be where mammoths were peacefully grazing somewhere and the weather and/or climate anomaly called The Younger Dryas came along and flash froze them in place.
There are some other ways ~ Zholzenetsyn reported on one where people found ancient flash frozen critters in what amounted to an ancient riverbed that'd been "uplifted" a bit. They were in an ice "lens".
The people who found them were Zeks so they butchered, cooked and ate the animals. Probably the only meat they'd had in years.

Here's one way:
The periglacial areas were the best for grazing. The wall of the glacier shielded the area from the bitter north wind, the dazzling vertical ice wall acts as a solar concentrator providing more heat and light for plant growth, the glacial till provides a rich, well conditioned soil, while moraines trap ponds of melt water.
Up near the face of the glacier is the best grazing for a thousand miles!
Until a big chunk breaks off and pounds you into the muck before you even have a chance to swallow that mouthful of marigolds...
There are frozen (or freeze-dried) corpses of climbers all over Mt. Everest, like that of Mallory who disappeared in 1924 and was found well-preserved in 1999.
The Atlantean wizards sucked all the energy out of the Far North, in an attempt to channel it to save Atlantis. Tragically, they underestimated amount of energy involved, and the power backlash not only destroyed Atlantis anyway, but it also left the Far North a frigid wasteland with all the animals flash frozen in place.
So much energy was unleashed in an unbalanced and catastrophic fashion that it even knocked the earth's axis 22.5 degrees off-vertical and misaligned magnetic & true north forever after. The North Atlantic Ridge & African Rift Valleys have been unstable and spreading ever since.
