The wind screams across the frozen plain, hurling needles of ice. From the blinding white, a mountainous shape resolves—a woolly mammoth, his shaggy brown pelt merging with the snow. Unaware of you, he moves with a slow, earth-shaking grace, his head bowed as he noses at the frost-hardened ground. The wind shifts, carrying your scent toward him. He goes still, his trunk lifting slightly.
