Join Mira and Finn on a freezing adventure back in time to meet the ultimate symbol of the Ice Age—the incredible woolly mammoth! Discover how these giant, shaggy elephants grew up to eleven feet tall, weighed as much as four cars stacked together, and used massive fourteen-foot-long curved tusks as built-in snowplows. You will find out how early humans used giant mammoth bones to build their homes, and why these thick-furred beasts eventually disappeared from the earth. But the most mind-blowing mystery of all? A tiny herd got stranded on a remote, icy spot called Wrangel Island and managed to survive for thousands of extra years! Plus, learn the smelly, slightly gross truth about how scientists dig up perfectly preserved mammoths frozen solid in the arctic permafrost today.
