Thanks BenLurkin. The length of the dark band in their fur tells how long the ice age is gonna be.

A new study by Russian and French researchers found new petroglyphs which helped the answer this conundrum.
For example, at Baga-Oygur II was found the image of a long-gone woolly rhino.
Most of the image is lost due to a rock slicing, but the animal is quite recognisable with an elongated, squat torso, short powerful legs, a characteristic tail, and an elongated muzzle with exaggeratedly enlarged two horns.
This was useful because these animals - like mammoths - became extinct around 15,000 years ago in this region, making the drawings the work of Palaeolithic artists...
The scientists also concluded that the artists worked with stone implements, and not metal.
They also noted a 'desert varnish' on the stones - a dark crust which forms on the stones in dry conditions, suggesting a greater age than earlier assumptions of between 8,000 and 10,000 years old.
Stylistic similarities between the Mongolian and Siberian petroglyphs further indicated the Ukok drawings to be woolly mammoths.
They made their petroglyphs in the so-called Kalgutinsky style.

Woolly mammoths are making a comeback. Should we eat them?

Sadly, behind a paywall but thought you might get a kick from just the headline.
I got your woolly mammoth right here.
LOLOL!

He: Do you like Kipling?
She: I don’t know, I’ve never kippled...
That ‘mammoth’ looks like it’s starved.....................
OK......... was the petroglyph etched before or after the massive polygonal stone construction by unknown civilizations scattered all over the world?
Mammoth told me there’d be days like that.
