Majestic, delicious creatures roamed North America in peace ... until the Native Americans came
Those barbaric prehistoric Native Americans, killing all of those innocent creatures. Why didn’t they just go to the local Pick and Pay to buy their groceries?
(sarcasm)
And THIS is why there are no flying elephants anymore.
We’re gonna need a bigger smoker...
Tastes like pork roast.
Makes good gravy too.
And I bet the babies had big brown eyes and blinked lovingly up at their mothers.
Please keep Disney away from paleontology. They were meat. Big meat that was hard to kill with bows and spears and I wouldn't be surprised that they stomped and speared quite a few Indians who tried to hunt them.
It beats humpback whale .. And a lot easier to catch.
Native-Americans is a misnomer - there was no America at that time. America was nothing but a bunch of dirt below another hunk of dirt and above another hunk of dirt.
One bite at a time.
So much for the “living-in-harmony-with-Mother-Gaia” con.
Yum!
and I would not doubt it if those with four feet were pushing for spear and club registration and control. They prob wanted to register rocks because they were used in slings as missiles....
Famous Clovis saying after killing them all off:
“There`s no gomphothere there.”
Until they were eaten, they were not delicious.
The menu said “elephant ear sandwiches.
Th e customer on learning he couldn’t get one observed “I knew you didn’t really have elephant ears.”
The waitress responded” oh no sir, we have plenty of the ears, but we’re out of those really big buns”
Yabba, Dabba, Doo!
The indians killed the elephant and the horse. Real smart. They had to walk for thousands of years until the Spaniards lost some horses.
We northern first nations People LOVE to kill BIG things...like Whales!
Only nowadays, with our shiny modern nuclear weaponry, The blubber just vaporizes and we are left with very tough, dry, flavorless, stringy meat. (Sigh) how I long for the old ways of my people when we could spear a nice mastadon! /s
It would have been impossible for humans to have killed off a species with that kind of technology.
Hunting for ivory with Clovis points..... what ELSE does anybody think they were doing with ginormous spearheads????
Unicorn tears make a great mammoth rib rub.
