Looks more like a snail emerging from a shell to me but what do I know.

Mommoth & bison!?
Looks much more like a banana slug & a Mormon cricket.
The one outlined in blue looks much more like a stretched out rabbit, lying on its side.

Never mind the mammoth, look at the size of the weiner dog that’s attacking it.

As the crow flies this isn't so far away from Aspen (Snowmass) where mammoth remains were found last summer. The Denver museum will be back up there this season.
